New-MgSchemaExtension

Create a new schemaExtension definition and its associated schema extension property to extend a supporting resource type. Schema extensions let you add strongly-typed custom data to a resource. The app that creates a schema extension is the owner app. Depending on the state of the extension, the owner app, and only the owner app, may update or delete the extension. See examples of how to define a schema extension that describes a training course, use the schema extension definition to create a new group with training course data, and add training course data to an existing group.

Description

Create a new schemaExtension definition and its associated schema extension property to extend a supporting resource type. Schema extensions let you add strongly-typed custom data to a resource. The app that creates a schema extension is the owner app. Depending on the state of the extension, the owner app, and only the owner app, may update or delete the extension. See examples of how to define a schema extension that describes a training course, use the schema extension definition to create a new group with training course data, and add training course data to an existing group.

Examples

Example 1: Creating a schema extension using a verified domain

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.SchemaExtensions

$params = @{
	id = "graphlearn_courses"
	description = "Graph Learn training courses extensions"
	targetTypes = @(
	"Group"
)
properties = @(
	@{
		name = "courseId"
		type = "Integer"
	}
	@{
		name = "courseName"
		type = "String"
	}
	@{
		name = "courseType"
		type = "String"
	}
)
}

New-MgSchemaExtension -BodyParameter $params

This example shows creating a schema extension using a verified domain

Example 2: Creating a schema extension using just a name

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.SchemaExtensions

$params = @{
	id = "courses"
	description = "Graph Learn training courses extensions"
	targetTypes = @(
	"Group"
)
properties = @(
	@{
		name = "courseId"
		type = "Integer"
	}
	@{
		name = "courseName"
		type = "String"
	}
	@{
		name = "courseType"
		type = "String"
	}
)
}

New-MgSchemaExtension -BodyParameter $params

This example shows creating a schema extension using just a name

Example 3: Creating a schema extension setting the owner

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.SchemaExtensions

$params = @{
	id = "courses"
	description = "Graph Learn training courses extensions"
	targetTypes = @(
	"Group"
)
owner = "50897f70-a455-4adf-87bc-4cf17091d5ac"
properties = @(
	@{
		name = "courseId"
		type = "Integer"
	}
	@{
		name = "courseName"
		type = "String"
	}
	@{
		name = "courseType"
		type = "String"
	}
)
}

New-MgSchemaExtension -BodyParameter $params

This example shows creating a schema extension setting the owner

Parameters

-AdditionalProperties

Additional Parameters

Type:Hashtable
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-BodyParameter

schemaExtension To construct, see NOTES section for BODYPARAMETER properties and create a hash table.

Type:IMicrosoftGraphSchemaExtension
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Description

Description for the schema extension.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Headers

Optional headers that will be added to the request.

Type:IDictionary
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Id

The unique identifier for an entity. Read-only.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Owner

The appId of the application that is the owner of the schema extension. The owner of the schema definition must be explicitly specified during the Create and Update operations, or it will be implied and auto-assigned by Microsoft Entra ID as follows: In delegated access: The signed-in user must be the owner of the app that calls Microsoft Graph to create the schema extension definition. If the signed-in user isn't the owner of the calling app, they must explicitly specify the owner property, and assign it the appId of an app that they own. In app-only access: The owner property isn't required in the request body. Instead, the calling app is assigned ownership of the schema extension. So, for example, if creating a new schema extension definition using Graph Explorer, you must supply the owner property. Once set, this property is read-only and cannot be changed. Supports $filter (eq).

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ProgressAction

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-TargetTypes

Set of Microsoft Graph types (that can support extensions) that the schema extension can be applied to. Select from administrativeUnit, contact, device, event, group, message, organization, post, todoTask, todoTaskList, or user.
