Hi H Risbud

Vérify you use these modules :

Import-Module MSOnline
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Import-Module MicrosoftTeams
Import-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
Import-Module PnP.PowerShell

It's more easier :

• create UnifiedGroup 365
• put users inside
• use New-Team -group ... to add Teams on this group

If you want personalize Team's Sharepoint you can use :

Connect-PnPOnline -Credential $credentials -Url $_site_sharepoint 
Add-PnPFolder -Name "SCAN" -Folder ($_sharepoint_chemin + "/Documents partages/General") # by example for add folder

I hope bring some help to you

Hi @H Risbud

As the error message, you will need 'TeamMember.ReadWriteNonOwnerRole.All,TeamMember.ReadWrite.All' permission to call this api.

First you need to register azure ad app only by following steps

Granting access via Azure AD App-Only

Then you need to grant TeamMember.ReadWrite.All permission to the app like following

Finally you can use following cmdlet to connect sharepoint

$password = (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText 'myprivatekeypassword' -Force)
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -ClientId 6c5c98c7-e05a-4a0f-bcfa-0cfc65aa1f28 -CertificatePath 'c:\mycertificate.pfx' -CertificatePassword $password  -Tenant 'contoso.onmicrosoft.com'
