Assuming you have a CSV file with fields designating the user (UserUPN) and Manager (ManagerUPN), you can do something like this:

Import-CSV blabla.csv | % { Set-MgUserManagerByRef -UserId $UserUPN -OdataId "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/$ManagerUPN" }

where we are using the Graph SDK for PowerShell.

Hi Vasil Michev

Thanks for sharing. I tested this and got this error even after connecting to MS graph Powershell module.

Also I am using PowerShell 7 version for this to run but seems its not correct or something is wrong with it.

Oh, sorry, my fault. Try this instead:

Import-CSV blabla.csv | % { Set-MgUserManagerByRef -UserId $_.UserUPN -OdataId "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/$($_.ManagerUPN)" }

This is what happens when I write code directly here and not in PowerShell :)

Hi Vasil Michev

Thanks for sharing this.

This cmdlets worked for me.

Import-CSV blabla.csv | % { Set-MgUserManagerByRef -UserId $.UserUPN -OdataId "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/$($.ManagerUPN)" }
