Get-AdministrativeUnit

This cmdlet is functional only in the cloud-based service.

Use the Get-AdministrativeUnit cmdlet to view administrative units, which are Microsoft Entra containers of resources. You can use administrative units to delegate administrative permissions and apply policies to different groups of users.

Note: Administrative units are available only in Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2. You create and manage administrative units in Microsoft Graph PowerShell.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Get-AdministrativeUnit
   [[-Identity] <AdministrativeUnitIdParameter>]
   [-Confirm]
   [-DomainController <Fqdn>]
   [-WhatIf]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Example 2

This example returns detailed information about the administrative unit with the display name West Coast.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
