I’m using Sharepoint Online and I have a massive list of groups all in a CSV file. I dont have users for them yet but want to create the groups with a script. Is this possible if so how do i do it 🙂
I saw this article but it did not work.

Sounds like your importing the csv incorrectly and no value is coming through when you are trying to create your group. I would check to make sure the CSV is being fed in correctly to your PowerShell Script by doing some logging.
