Amend invited user properties using MgGraph

Question

Amend invited user properties using MgGraph

Neal, Tom 125

We are currently automating the process of newly invited users being created and added to our Azure AD environment, this is all being done via the New-Mginvitation command however one issue we our having is the inability to configure user properties such as company name or usage location and this appears to be a restriction of the New-Mginvitation command. Is there any method that would allow for these Properties to be set via the New-Mginvitation string? Sadly these values have to be set as part of our organisational policy as there are a vast amount of external parties that utilise our platform. It’s also slightly annoying as I believe this would have been possible with the Azure AD Module however the whole deprecation at the end of the month situation has led us down the MgGraph route.

Hi @Tom Neal

The companyName or usageLocation attribute of the invited user cannot be modified at the time of invitation, and the above attributes can only be modified after the user is invited.

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Users

$params = @{
	companyName = "Microsoft"
	usageLocation = "US"
}

$userId = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Update-MgUser -UserId $userId -BodyParameter $params

Hope this helps.

The issue we have is the script we are utilizing runs via a pipeline, so it needs to create the user and amend the properties as a single run. Every attempt of obtaining the User ID post the sending of the invite is failing with the error "Cannot bind argument to parameter 'UserId' because it is an empty string"

Hi @Tom Neal

You can refer to my script to invite users and modify user properties:

$params = @{
	invitedUserEmailAddress = "xxxxxxxxxx"
	inviteRedirectUrl = "https://myapp.contoso.com"
}

$result = New-MgInvitation -BodyParameter $params

$userId = $result.InvitedUser.Id

$params = @{
	companyName = "Microsoft"
	usageLocation = "US"
}

Update-MgUser -UserId $userId -BodyParameter $params

Thankyou so much, I've amended my script to align with the above and I can now amend properties such as Company Name & Usage Location.
