Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing Get-AzManagementGroup with the PowerShell 7.5.0 and Az module versions shown. Trace the stack from GetAzureRmManagementGroup through ManagementGroupsCmdletBase.ManagementGroupsApi, ClientFactory.CreateArmClient, and AuthenticationFactory.GetServiceClientCredentials; done means the command no longer throws ArgumentNullException for parameter 'g'.
