Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell-based examples and workflows for managing Azure RBAC in Automation accounts. All command-line instructions use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention or examples of Azure CLI (cross-platform) or bash scripting. There is no guidance for Linux or macOS users, and the documentation implicitly assumes a Windows/PowerShell environment for automation tasks.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell examples for all RBAC management tasks, including role assignment, listing, and removal.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI can be used from Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide bash script examples where appropriate.
- Where scripts are shown, provide both PowerShell and bash/CLI versions, or link to cross-platform documentation.
- Clarify in introductory sections that both PowerShell and CLI are supported, and provide links to relevant documentation for each.
- Review references to 'PowerShell' in headings and ensure parity with CLI tooling in both content and prominence.

Flagged Code Snippets
[Get-AzRoleAssignment](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azroleassignment) lists Azure role assignments at the specified scope. Without any parameters, this cmdlet returns all the role assignments made under the subscription. Use the `ExpandPrincipalGroups` parameter to list access assignments for the specified user, as well as the groups that the user belongs to.
**Example:** Use the following cmdlet to list all the users and their roles within an Automation account.
Use [New-AzRoleAssignment](/powershell/module/Az.Resources/New-AzRoleAssignment) to assign access to users, groups, and applications to a particular scope.
**Example:** Use the following command to assign the "Automation Operator" role for a user in the Automation account scope.
Use [Remove-AzRoleAssignment](/powershell/module/Az.Resources/Remove-AzRoleAssignment) to remove access of a specified user, group, or application from a particular scope.
**Example:** Use the following command to remove the user from the Automation Operator role in the Automation account scope.
