Question

Do we have alternate to prepopulate the PnP people picker control using security group that doesn't have email assigned

Answer 1

Hi @Harsha Vardhan Reddy,

If you're working with the SharePoint PnP (Patterns and Practices) People Picker control and want to prepopulate it with a security group that doesn't have an email assigned, you can use the Group ID or Group Principal Name (UPN) instead.

Here's an example of how you can use the Group ID:

JavaScriptCopy

var groupID = 123;  
var peoplePicker = new PnPClientStoragePeoplePicker({}); 
peoplePicker.SetEnabledState(true); peoplePicker.SetUrlZone(1); peoplePicker.SetParentElement(document.getElementById('peoplePickerDiv')); peoplePicker.SetPrincipalType(1); peoplePicker.SetSearchPrincipalSource(15); peoplePicker.SetEnabledState(true); peoplePicker.AddUserKeys([groupID]);
