Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Azure PowerShell as the primary CLI tool for assigning roles, without mentioning or providing examples for cross-platform alternatives such as Azure CLI or REST API calls. The instructions and linked resources focus on PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows, and do not offer Linux/macOS-specific guidance or examples. No Linux/macOS command-line patterns or tools are discussed, and PowerShell is mentioned before any other automation method.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for assigning roles to service principals, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Include REST API example requests for role assignment to demonstrate platform-agnostic automation.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but also provide parity with CLI and API methods.
  • Reorder examples so that platform-neutral methods (CLI, API) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Add a note clarifying that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, and link to relevant documentation for those platforms.
