Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias in the troubleshooting steps for resolving Microsoft Entra App permission issues. The only provided method for creating a service principal is via PowerShell, with explicit instructions to install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module and run PowerShell commands. No equivalent CLI, Bash, or cross-platform instructions are given, and there is no mention of how to perform these steps on Linux or macOS. The rest of the document is neutral, but this critical section may block non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI or Microsoft Graph API examples for creating service principals, which work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives and link to relevant documentation for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) are shown before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Add a note clarifying PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, but also provide installation instructions and alternatives.
