Question

how to revoke license

Rising Flight 5,036

Hi All

I have a list of users who were directly assigned the Power Apps Premium license. I want to revoke their licenses. Can anyone please guide me with the PowerShell syntax? What is the correct syntax to connect to Graph PowerShell? After running Connect-MgGraph, do I need to grant any specific permissions? Also, what is the SkuPartNumber and skuid for the Power Apps Premium license? will the below syntax work. i have my txt file in the below format.

txt

$x=Get-Content "C:\temp\list.txt"
$powerappspremium = Get-MgSubscribedSku -All | Where SkuPartNumber -eq 'Power Apps premium'
for ($i=0; $i -lt $x.Count; $i++)
{
Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $x[$i] -RemoveLicenses @($powerappspremium.SkuId)
}

Hi @Rising Flight,

Based on your query, here is my understanding: You would like to revoke user licenses using Mg graph.

As per your query, here is the Microsoft document to add or remove licenses for user using Microsoft graph PowerShell: Set-MgUserLicense.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All,
Delegated (work or school account)	LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All,
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported
Application	LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All, User.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All,

Here is the Microsoft document to find SKUs for the licenses: Product names and service plan identifiers for licensing

will the below syntax work.

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.ReadWrite.All", "Organization.Read.All"
 
$userList = Get-Content "C:\temp\list.txt"
$powerAppsSku = Get-MgSubscribedSku -All | Where-Object { $_.SkuPartNumber -eq 'POWERAPPS_PER_USER' }
foreach ($user in $userList) {
    try {
        Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $user `
                          -RemoveLicenses @($powerAppsSku.SkuId) `
                          -AddLicenses @{}
        Write-Host "License removed for $user"
    } catch {
        Write-Warning "Failed to remove license for $user: $_"
    }

Hi @Rising Flight,

Could you please try the following:

Connect-Graph -Scopes User.ReadWrite.All, Organization.Read.All
$EmsSku = Get-MgSubscribedSku -All | Where SkuPartNumber -eq 'POWERAPPS_PER_USER'
Set-MgUserLicense -UserId '38955658-c844-4f59-9430-6519430ac89b'  -RemoveLicenses @{SkuId = $EmsSku.SkuId}
Id                                   DisplayName   Mail UserPrincipalName                     UserType
--                                   -----------   ---- -----------------                     --------
