I am using below code. I want to check is site collection is read only or not.

How to check site is read only through powershell client context.

Hi @Harish Patil ,

Please use ClientContext.Site property to check if site is read-only, please refer the following script:

#Variables for Processing  
$SiteUrl = "https://TenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/"  
   
$UserName="user@TenantName.onmicrosoft.com"  
$Password ="*******"  
    
#Setup Credentials to connect  
$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName,(ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force))  
    
#Set up the context  
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl)  
$Context.Credentials = $credentials  
$Context.Load($Context.Site)  
$Context.ExecuteQuery()  
  
  
Write-Host "Checking Site ReadOnly" - $Context.Site.ReadOnly   

Reference:

Site.ReadOnly property

Thanks
Best Regards

you need to load Site.ReadOnly property of appropriate site collection. You may do this by using helper PowerShell method Load-CSOMProperties of Garry Lapointe:

Load-CSOMProperties -object $site -propertyNames @("ReadOnly")  

Here is example of usage of this method: PowerShell script for listing master pages in all sites of Sharepoint Online site collection via CSOM.
