How to Assign sensitivity labels to Microsoft 365 groups in Microsoft Entra ID?

Question

Hi Team

I am trying to follow the instructions listed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/users/groups-assign-sensitivity-labels, which should allow us to enable publishing sensitivity labels to groups feature.

Steps taken so far from my Windows 11 device:

• Run Powershell as Administrator

  Install-Module Microsoft.Graph
  Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta
  Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Directory.ReadWrite.All"
  

The next required script is: $grpUnifiedSetting = Get-MgBetaDirectorySetting -Search DisplayName:"Group.Unified"

but I am getting this error:

Get-MgBetaDirectorySetting : The term 'Get-MgBetaDirectorySetting' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that thepath is correct and try again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello @RoBiNLolo ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft QnA Platform. I tried to execute command and found this command is working without any issues.

The error message you’re seeing typically occurs when the PowerShell environment does not recognize the Get-MgBetaDirectorySetting cmdlet. This could be due to a few reasons: The Microsoft.Graph.Beta module may not have been installed correctly. You can verify this by running Get-Module -ListAvailable Microsoft.Graph.Beta in your PowerShell session. If the module is not listed, you may need to reinstall it. The Microsoft.Graph.Beta module may not have been imported into your PowerShell session. You can do this by running Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta. There could be a conflict with another module that has a cmdlet of the same name. Try using the fully qualified cmdlet name: Microsoft.Graph.Beta\Get-MgBetaDirectorySetting.

1. Your PowerShell Execution Policy might be restricting the execution of the script. You can check your execution policy settings by running Get-ExecutionPolicy. If it’s set to Restricted, you might need to change it to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted using the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet.

If you’ve checked all of these and you’re still experiencing the issue, it might be worth reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance. Please remember to replace any sensitive information in your scripts or error messages before sharing them.

@RoBiNLolo Thank you for reaching out to us, adding to the above answer, in order to use this cmdlet Get-MgBetaDirectorySetting , you need to import the module and the same has been documented here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.graph.beta.identity.directorymanagement/get-mgbetadirectorysetting?view=graph-powershell-beta

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Identity.DirectoryManagement
