Description

### Describe the bug

The documentation suggests....

**This reference is part of the purview extension for the Azure CLI (version 2.15.0 or higher). The extension will automatically install the first time you run an az purview command. [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/azure-cli-extensions-overview) about extensions.**

This isn't true, not of version 2.50.0 which is higher than the specificed 2.15.0 above - needs revisiting
