WalkthroughThe documentation updates standardize Microsoft Entra ID and Azure Resource Manager terminology, expand Azure role descriptions and references, add Azure and Active Directory node descriptions, and bold finding lifecycle status labels. ChangesAzure documentation updates
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves Azure documentation but still contains wording that can confuse application registrations with service principals and overstate the direct secret access granted by Key Vault Contributor. This could lead readers to misunderstand identity or permission boundaries, so the PR needs those descriptions corrected or explicitly accepted before merging. Suggested reviewers: Poem

Inline comments:
In `@docs/resources/edges/az-automation-contributor.mdx`:
- Line 3: Update the description near the Azure Automation Contributor role to
state that the path creates and runs a runbook in the target Automation account,
with commands executing by default in an Azure sandbox or on a configured Hybrid
Runbook Worker; remove the claim that commands execute on the Automation
account.
In `@docs/resources/edges/az-contains.mdx`:
- Line 3: Update the description for the az-contains edge to describe only Azure
Resource Manager hierarchy containment, removing the tenant-as-parent example
and retaining valid examples such as resource groups containing resources.
In `@docs/resources/edges/az-execute-command.mdx`:
- Line 3: Update the description’s target prerequisites so it explicitly refers
to an Intune-managed Windows device joined to Microsoft Entra ID, rather than
any device merely joined to the tenant; preserve the existing Intune
Administrator role and PowerShell execution behavior.
In `@docs/resources/edges/az-key-vault-contributor.mdx`:
- Line 3: Update the Key Vault Contributor description and Abuse Info text to
clarify that secret, key, and certificate access is conditional: under the
legacy Access Policy model, vault write permissions can be used to modify access
policies and grant data-plane access, while under Azure RBAC this role alone
does not provide data-plane access.
In `@docs/resources/edges/az-logic-app-contributor.mdx`:
- Line 3: Update the description near the Logic Contributor role documentation
to remove the claim that the role can execute arbitrary commands on the Logic
App, and instead describe the documented privilege path: modifying workflows and
connections so a workflow sends a managed-identity JWT to an attacker-controlled
web server. Preserve the statement that the role grants full control of the
target Logic App.
In `@docs/resources/edges/az-owner.mdx`:
- Line 12: Update the scope-inheritance description in both
docs/resources/edges/az-owner.mdx:12-12 and
docs/resources/edges/az-user-access-administrator.mdx:12-12 to state that
assignments scoped to a specific resource can also apply to applicable child
resources, while preserving the existing management-group, subscription, and
resource-group inheritance details.
In `@docs/resources/edges/az-runs-as.mdx`:
- Line 3: Update the description near the metadata to distinguish the
application registration from its service principal: describe the service
principal as the tenant-local application identity used for authentication,
rather than saying the application registration runs as the service principal.

Nice editorial enhancements @martinsohn!
I left a non-blocking comment for future consideration. Hopefully it's something easily done when syncing the code with the docs.

I appreciate how you use a proper link label instead of the plain URL like the existing links. This is a broader issue across a lot of edges and exists in the HelpTexts in the code base as well.
It would be nice to standardize on a canonical link format (preferably using proper labels) so all links are consistent, but that's a small nit.
