There are a few other issues in this doc, such as the fact that a Policy is now a valid securable object, and the note that If you update the privileges bestowed to a service principal, the updates won't take effect for up to one hour.. I also think the diagram at the bottom is confusing at best.

However, this change by itself looks good enough to merge as it's just not accurate.

Thanks @eric-maynard for your review. Maybe a separate PR to fix the other issues? Actually, the diagram together with the example help me when trying to understand the RBAC :)

To grant the full set of privileges (drop, list, read, write, etc.) on an object, you can use the *full privilege* option.
