Summary
The documentation page provides detailed PowerShell-based instructions for disabling a system-assigned managed identity in Azure Automation, including use of Windows-specific tools and cmdlets. No equivalent Linux or cross-platform CLI examples (such as Azure CLI, curl, or bash scripts) are provided, and the PowerShell workflow is presented as the only programmatic option after the REST API section. This creates a bias toward Windows users and leaves Linux users without clear guidance.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for authentication and REST API invocation, which work on both Windows and Linux.
  • Provide curl or bash script examples for sending PATCH requests to the REST API.
  • Include instructions for obtaining access tokens using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI's 'az account get-access-token').
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell examples are Windows-centric and offer alternative steps for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reorder or parallelize example sections so that Windows and Linux methods are presented together, rather than Windows-first.
