Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments, particularly in the administrator troubleshooting section. PowerShell is exclusively used for command-line instructions, with no mention of Linux shell equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. The guidance for installing and using the Microsoft Graph module is Windows/PowerShell-centric, and there is no discussion of how to perform these steps on Linux or macOS. The initial application example is a .NET console application, which is most commonly associated with Windows, and this is presented before other language pivots. Overall, Linux users are left without clear instructions for key administrative tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions for administrative tasks, such as using Azure CLI or Microsoft Graph CLI for service principal creation and consent.
  • Include bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell commands, or reference cross-platform tools.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require OS-specific tooling, and offer alternatives where possible.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps do not assume a Windows environment; mention how Linux administrators can perform the same actions.
  • Consider presenting language pivots in a neutral order or highlighting cross-platform options first.
