Is there a way to add permission groups and add users into them via PowerShell in SharePoint Online?
Thanks Warren 🙂
I saw this and added a few cmdlets to our project. Here’s the new ones relating to permission groups.
I hope these can help people in the future.
Yes,
You will need
PowerShell 3.0
which is part of the Windows Management Framework

Then you will need
SharePoint Online management shell

To add a user you will need to create a script that calls the Add-SPOUser PowerShell cmdlet

To add a group

If there are any commands lacking in the management shell (there aren’t many) … then look at http://sharepointonlineautomationcmdlets.codeplex.com/ to see if there are any new ones added that suit your needs.
