Intent is to add new user as a member in group.

Answer 1

Hello,

You may want to avoid AzureAD module which will no longer get support. more info on the link below.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/active-directory/overview?view=azureadps-2.0

You can use the graph module to create users and add them to groups.

$PasswordProfile = @{

  Password = 'xWwvJ]6NMw+bWH-d'

  }

$group = Get-MgGroup - Filter "DisplayName eq 'mygroupname'"

$user = New-MgUser -DisplayName 'Rene Magi' -PasswordProfile $PasswordProfile -AccountEnabled -MailNickName 'ReneMagi' -UserPrincipalName '******@contoso.com'

New-MgGroupMember -GroupId $group.id -DirectoryObjectId $user.id

Here is a quick n' dirty patchwork from MS exemples. You can find them here, here and here :

hope it helps

Answer 2

Hi @Rohit,

To add new users to the security groups here are the permissions required and also this is not supported for the delegated permissions only for Application permissions.

Query:

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Groups

$params = @{
	"@odata.id" = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/directoryObjects/{id}"
}

New-MgGroupMemberByRef -GroupId $groupId -BodyParameter $params
