Microsoft.Graph.Users module New-MgUser "-Authentication" parameter

Question

Microsoft.Graph.Users module New-MgUser "-Authentication" parameter

Gregor Anton Grinč 171

Hello,

I have tried adding an email authentication method while creating a new user via the New-MgUser command. At the current time, it looks like this:

New-MgUser -DisplayName 'Test User' -Surname 'User' -GivenName 'Test' -AccountEnabled -OtherMails '******@something.eu' -UserPrincipalName '[email protected]' -PasswordProfile $PasswordProfile -MailNickname 'test.user'

No matter what I tried I could not set an email authentication method via -Authentication parameter... I have tried adding brackets and reordering but nothing worked. I do not fully understand the notes regarding this parameter which can be found in the documentation and moreover, there is no example of how to do this. Therefore, I settled on using this command instead so far:

New-MgUserAuthenticationEmailMethod -UserId '[email protected]' -EmailAddress '******@something.eu'

This one works perfectly, but I would still like to condense everything into one command which I can execute at once. Would you please give me an example of how is the command supposed to look?

Thank you

Hi，

According to the help file, you need to provide a hash table containing the appropriate properties for the Authentication parameter, like

 @{
    EmailMethods = @{
		EmailAddress = '******@something.eu'
	}
}

Details of all the properties are listed in the NOTES section.
