Summary
The documentation page lists Azure permissions for hybrid and multicloud resource providers. While the page is mostly a reference of permission strings, there is evidence of Windows bias: Windows-specific tools such as Windows Admin Center (WAC) are mentioned multiple times as privileged management actions, and the Azure Stack HCI section is heavily oriented around Windows-centric terminology and management patterns. Linux equivalents (such as SSH, root login, or Linux-native management tools) are either missing or mentioned only as secondary options (e.g., 'Log in to an Azure Arc machine with Windows administrator or Linux root user privilege'). Windows management actions (WAC) are given their own DataAction permissions, while Linux management is not similarly highlighted.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention Linux management tools and patterns where Windows Admin Center is referenced, such as including SSH or Linux-native management actions.
  • Add DataAction permissions for Linux-specific management scenarios, such as root login via SSH, or integration with Linux configuration management tools.
  • Ensure parity in documentation by listing Linux management options alongside Windows, not as secondary or parenthetical notes.
  • Where possible, provide examples or references for both Windows and Linux workflows, especially in hybrid scenarios.
  • Clarify which permissions/actions are applicable to Linux, Windows, or both, to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
