Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for assigning roles and managed identities using the Azure Portal, which is a GUI-centric workflow most familiar to Windows users. There are no CLI examples (such as Azure CLI or PowerShell), nor are Linux-specific workflows or screenshots provided. The portal instructions are presented first and in detail, while the only automation example is via Bicep (which is cross-platform but less commonly used than CLI tools). There are no examples using Azure CLI, which is the most common tool for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for all portal-based steps, including creating UAMI, assigning roles, and permissions.
- Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed using Azure CLI or PowerShell, and provide links or code blocks for those workflows.
- Ensure screenshots and instructions do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., avoid references to Windows-only tools or UI elements).
- Consider providing Bash script snippets for automation, especially for Linux/macOS users.
- Clarify that Bicep is cross-platform and can be used on Linux/macOS, and provide installation instructions for those platforms if needed.
