Question

Is there any way to create Bulk creation of document library through powershell

as well as give access right to the user through Powershell? I have search and found one document with the script but the script was hard to understand for me

Hi @ネパリ サンデャ ,

You can use the follow script to bulk create document library:

 
      
#Function to Create a SharePoint Online document library
Function CreateSPO-DocumentLibrary()
{
 
 [cmdletbinding()]
 
    param
    (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,ValueFromPipeline)] [String[]] $LibraryNames,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [String] $Description
    )   
    Try {
        #Create Each Document Library
        ForEach($LibraryName in $LibraryNames)
        {
            Write-host -f Yellow "`nEnsuring Document Library '$LibraryName'"
          
            #Get All Existing Lists from the web
            $Lists = $Web.Lists
            $Ctx.Load($Lists)
            $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
  
            #Check if Library name doesn't exist already
            If(!($Lists.Title -contains $LibraryName))
            {
                #Create a new Document Library
                $ListInfo = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListCreationInformation
                $ListInfo.Title = $LibraryName
                $ListInfo.Description =  $Description
                $ListInfo.TemplateType =  [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary
                $Web.Lists.Add($ListInfo) | Out-Null
                $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
   
                write-host  -f Green "`tNew Document Library '$LibraryName' has been created!"
            }
            Else
            {
                Write-Host -f Magenta "`tA Document Library '$LibraryName' Already exists!"
            }
        }
    }
    Catch {
        write-host -f Red "`tError:" $_.Exception.Message
    }
}
  
#Set Parameters
$SiteURL= "https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/"
  
#Get Credentials to connect
$Cred = Get-Credential
  
#Setup the context
$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
$Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)
    
#Get the web from URL
$Web = $Ctx.web
$Ctx.Load($Web)
$Ctx.executeQuery()
  
#Call the function to create document libraries
CreateSPO-DocumentLibrary -LibraryNames @("Document Library 1", "Document Library 2", "Document Library 3", "Document Library 4")   

Please fill in $SiteURL and LibraryNames according to your actual situation.

You can use the follow script to grant access to a SharePoint Online site level:

    
#Variables for Processing
$SiteURL = "https://domain.sharepoint.com/Sites/sitename/"
$UserAccount = "******@domain.com"
$PermissionLevel = "Contribute"
 
#Setup Credentials to connect
$Cred = Get-Credential
 
Try {
    #Setup the context
    $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
    $Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.UserName,$Cred.Password)
       
    #Get the Web
    $Web = $Ctx.Web
    $Ctx.Load($Web)
    $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
 
    #Ensure the user
    $User=$web.EnsureUser($UserAccount)
    $Ctx.Load($User)
    $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
 
    #Get the Permission Level 
    $RoleDefinition = $web.RoleDefinitions.GetByName($PermissionLevel)
    $RoleAssignment = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.RoleDefinitionBindingCollection($Ctx)
    $RoleAssignment.Add($RoleDefinition) 
     
    #Assign Role Assignment to User
    $Permissions = $Web.RoleAssignments.Add($User,$RoleAssignment)
    $Web.Update()
    $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
   
    Write-host  -f Green "User '$UserAccount' has been Granted with Access '$PermissionLevel'!"
}
Catch {
    write-host -f Red "Error:" $_.Exception.Message
}
