Summary

The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deploying Bicep files at the management group scope. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and is presented immediately after the CLI example. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or examples, and no mention of Bash scripting or Linux shell patterns. The documentation does not mention any platform-specific prerequisites or differences, but the inclusion of PowerShell as a primary example may signal a bias toward Windows users.

Recommendations

Clearly indicate that Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Consider presenting Azure CLI examples first, as it is the most platform-agnostic tool.
Add explicit Bash shell examples or notes for Linux users where relevant (e.g., environment variables, file paths).
Clarify that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but note any differences if applicable.
Include a brief section or note on running these commands in Linux/macOS environments, such as using Azure CLI in Bash or Zsh.
Avoid implying that PowerShell is the default or preferred method unless there is a technical reason.

# [PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell)

For Azure PowerShell, use [New-AzManagementGroupDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azmanagementgroupdeployment).

### Scope to resource group

You can also target resource groups within the management group. The user deploying the template must have access to the specified scope.

To target a resource group within the management group, add a module. Use the [resourceGroup function](bicep-functions-scope.md#resourcegroup) to set the `scope` property.  Provide the subscription ID and resource group name.
