why is set-mguserphoto or update-mguserphoto read only?

Is there a roadmap or something that will tell me when these commands will no longer be read-only?

Please conform if the commands in question are part of the MS Graph PowerShell SDK and what you mean by read-only.

YEs both of these commands are part of the Microsoft Graph SDK and should be used to either set or update a photo for a user through PowerShell. But for some reason they are read-only so they cannot actually make any changes. To make changes you have to go to the API or run the older Azure commands set-userphoto.

Okay, we are looking into this.

I am assuming you trying to set or update the user profile photo using the Graph Powershell SDK. Is that right?

That is correct. I currently have some complex code that accesses the Graph API to keep users photos up to date, but I would love to replace it with the SDK, since that is much easier to use.
Thanks!

Is there any update on this?
I found the github repository and there is a closed enhancement request from November 2019 https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-powershell/issues/54
Nearly 3 years and we are still waiting on this enhancement.
