Summary
The documentation provides three methods for adding users: via the portal, PowerShell, and Curl. The PowerShell example is given in full before the Curl (bash) example, and is much more detailed, with explanatory comments and output handling. The Curl example is presented as an alternative, but notes that it is designed for bash and would require modifications for Windows command prompt. There is a notable emphasis on PowerShell and Windows tooling, with more attention and detail given to the Windows approach. Additionally, tools like ODBC and PowerShell are mentioned as cluster interaction endpoints before REST APIs, which are more cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/bash (Curl) examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Ensure both PowerShell and bash examples have equivalent detail, comments, and output handling.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility in all relevant sections, and provide troubleshooting notes for non-Windows platforms.
  • Include REST API examples with generic HTTP tools (e.g., curl, httpie) as primary cross-platform options.
  • Avoid language that assumes Windows as the default environment (e.g., 'Slight modifications would be needed for a Windows command prompt' could be rephrased to treat bash as a first-class citizen).
