Summary
The documentation provides three methods for adding users: via the portal, PowerShell, and curl/bash. The PowerShell example is given in full detail before the curl/bash example, and the PowerShell script is significantly more elaborate, suggesting a Windows-centric workflow. PowerShell is a Windows-specific tool, and its prominence (including credential handling and scripting) indicates a bias toward Windows users. The curl/bash example is provided, but with a note that 'slight modifications would be needed for a Windows command prompt,' further centering Windows as the default. No Linux-specific tools (e.g., Python, shell scripts, or Linux command-line utilities) are mentioned, and the ordering places Windows methods first.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS shell script examples before or alongside PowerShell, not after.
  • Offer parity in detail and explanation for both PowerShell and bash/curl methods.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility and provide troubleshooting notes for those platforms.
  • Include examples using other cross-platform tools (e.g., Python requests, generic REST clients) to broaden accessibility.
  • Avoid language that assumes Windows as the default (e.g., 'slight modifications needed for Windows command prompt').
