Summary
The documentation provides examples for creating service principals using Microsoft Graph REST API and Azure CLI, which are cross-platform. However, throughout the page, administrative actions and portal navigation are described using the Azure portal UI, which is most commonly used on Windows and does not mention Linux-specific tools or alternatives (such as bash scripts, automation via CLI, or PowerShell on Linux). There are no explicit Linux or macOS examples, nor is there mention of command-line automation for steps that could be performed outside the portal. The page does not reference Linux tools or patterns, and the developer examples are only referenced by language (C#/.NET and JavaScript), not by OS. There is a subtle 'windows_first' bias in the reliance on the Azure portal and lack of Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples for administrative steps that can be performed via Azure CLI or REST API, especially for resource assignment and permission granting.
  • Mention that Azure CLI and Microsoft Graph REST API are cross-platform and can be used on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Include automation scripts or sample bash commands for common tasks, such as assigning access or registering applications.
  • Add a section or note on how to perform portal-based steps using CLI or REST API for users who prefer or require non-GUI workflows.
  • Clarify that developer SDKs (C#/.NET, JavaScript) can be used on Linux/macOS environments and provide links or notes to relevant setup guides.
