Microsoft Graph PowerShell Module

Consume Microsoft Graph resources directly from your PowerShell scripts!

The Microsoft Graph PowerShell Module consists of a collection of PowerShell modules that contain commands for calling Microsoft Graph API. The module acts as an API wrapper for the Microsoft Graph APIs, exposing the entire API set for use in PowerShell.

Modules

The table below contains a link to our latest Microsoft Graph meta module. This module installs all the service modules as their dependencies.

Description	Module Name	PowerShell Gallery Link
Microsoft Graph	Microsoft.Graph

See Microsoft Graph PowerShell modules for a list of all modules found in this repository, .

Installation

PowerShell Gallery

Microsoft Graph PowerShell module is published on PowerShell Gallery. Installing is as simple as:

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph

If you are upgrading from our preview modules, run Install-Module with AllowClobber and Force parameters to avoid command name conflicts:

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -AllowClobber -Force

See Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell Module for detailed installation instructions.

Usage

1. Authentication

The module supports two types of authentication models:

Delegated access

Get access to Microsoft Graph resources on behalf of a user.

# Using interactive authentication.
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.ReadBasic.All", "Application.ReadWrite.All"

App-only access (client credentials grant flow)

Get access to Microsoft Graph resources using the identity on an app and not on behalf of a user.

# Using -CertificateThumbprint
Connect-MgGraph -ClientId "YOUR_APP_ID" -TenantId "YOUR_TENANT_ID" -CertificateThumbprint "YOUR_CERT_THUMBPRINT"

The certificate will be loaded from Cert:\CurrentUser\My\ store when -CertificateThumbprint or -CertificateName is specified. Ensure the certificate is present in the store before calling Connect-MgGraph.

See Authentication module cmdlets in Microsoft Graph PowerShell for more information.

2. List users in your tenant

Get-MgUser -Top 10 -Property Id, DisplayName, BusinessPhones | Format-Table Id, DisplayName, BusinessPhones

3. Filter a user in your tenant

$User = Get-MgUser -Filter "displayName eq 'Megan Bowen'"

4. Create a new app registration

New-MgApplication -DisplayName "ScriptedGraphPSApp" `
                  -SignInAudience "AzureADMyOrg" `
                  -Web @{ RedirectUris = "https://localhost"}

5. Sign out of the current logged-in context i.e. app only or delegated access

Disconnect-MgGraph

API Version

By default, the SDK uses the Microsoft Graph REST API v1.0. You can change this by using the Select-MgProfile command. This reloads all modules and only loads commands that call beta endpoint.

Select-MgProfile -Name "beta"

Notes

Upgrading to v2

The following breaking changes have been introduced between v1.x and v2.x:

• Dropped profile support.
• Dropped support for -ForceRefresh on Connect-MgGraph.
• Renamed beta command names from <Verb>-Mg<Noun> to <Verb>-MgBeta<Noun>.
• Changed beta namespace from Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Models.<Entity> to Microsoft.Graph.Beta.PowerShell.Models.<Entity>.
• Changed -AccessToken type on Connect-MgGraph from String to SecureString.

See v2 upgrade guide for more details.

Troubleshooting Permission Related Errors

When working with various operations in the Graph, you may encounter an error such as "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation." For example, this particular error can occur when using the New-MgApplication command if the appropriate permissions are not granted.

If permission-related errors occur and the user you authenticated within the popup has the appropriate permissions to perform the operation try these steps.

• You can try running Disconnect-MgGraph, then Connect-MgGraph. Then, run the code that encountered the permission issues to see if it works.
• You can try running Connect-MgGraph -ForceRefresh. This will trigger a refresh of the access token in your cache. MSAL will only refresh the access token in your cache if it has expired (usually an hour), or if you explicitly refresh it via -ForceRefresh. Then, run the code that encountered the permission issues to see if it works.

Known Issues

• Using -Property {PropertyName} parameter will not select the property as the output of the command. All commands return CLR objects, and customers should pipe the command outputs to Format-Table or Select-Object to return individual properties.

• Customers upgrading from previous versions of the SDK may encounter auth prompts on every command call. If this happens, one can use the following steps to reset their token cache:

  • Use Disconnect-MgGraph to sign out of the current session.
  • Run Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.graph" -Recurse -Force to delete your token cache.
  • Run Connect-MgGraph to reconstruct a clean token cache.
