DESCRIPTION
Connects to a SharePoint site or another API and creates a context that is required for the other PnP Cmdlets. See https://pnp.github.io/powershell/articles/connecting.html for more information on the options to connect.
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com"
Connect to SharePoint prompting for the username and password. When a generic credential is added to the Windows Credential Manager with https://contoso.sharepoint.com, PowerShell will not prompt for username and password and use those stored credentials instead.
EXAMPLE 2
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -Credentials (Get-Credential)
Connect to SharePoint prompting for the username and password to use to authenticate
EXAMPLE 3
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.de" -ClientId 344b8aab-389c-4e4a-8fa1-4c1ae2c0a60d -ClientSecret $clientSecret
This will authenticate you to the site using Legacy ACS authentication
EXAMPLE 4
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -DeviceLogin
This will authenticate you using the PnP Management Shell Multi-Tenant application. A browser window will have to be opened where you have to enter a code that is shown in your PowerShell window.
EXAMPLE 5
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -DeviceLogin -LaunchBrowser
This will authenticate you using the PnP Management Shell Multi-Tenant application. A browser window will automatically open and the code you need to enter will be automatically copied to your clipboard.
EXAMPLE 6
$password = (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText 'myprivatekeypassword' -Force)
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -ClientId 6c5c98c7-e05a-4a0f-bcfa-0cfc65aa1f28 -CertificatePath 'c:\mycertificate.pfx' -CertificatePassword $password -Tenant 'contoso.onmicrosoft.com'
Connects using an Azure Active Directory registered application using a locally available certificate containing a private key. See https://learn.microsoft.com/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azuread for a sample on how to get started.
EXAMPLE 7
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -ClientId 6c5c98c7-e05a-4a0f-bcfa-0cfc65aa1f28 -Tenant 'contoso.onmicrosoft.com' -Thumbprint 34CFAA860E5FB8C44335A38A097C1E41EEA206AA
Connects to SharePoint using app-only tokens via an app's declared permission scopes. See https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/tree/master/Samples/SharePoint.ConnectUsingAppPermissions for a sample on how to get started. Ensure you have imported the private key certificate, typically the .pfx file, into the Windows Certificate Store for the certificate with the provided thumbprint.
EXAMPLE 8
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -ClientId 6c5c98c7-e05a-4a0f-bcfa-0cfc65aa1f28 -CertificateBase64Encoded $base64encodedstring -Tenant 'contoso.onmicrosoft.com'
Connects using an Azure Active Directory registered application using a certificate with a private key that has been base64 encoded. See https://learn.microsoft.com/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azuread for a sample on how to get started.
EXAMPLE 9
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -UseWebLogin
Note: See Example 10 as this is a preferred option over using -UseWebLogin.
Connects to SharePoint using legacy cookie based authentication. Notice this type of authentication is limited in its functionality. We will for instance not be able to acquire an access token for the Graph, and as a result none of the Graph related cmdlets will work. Also some of the functionality of the provisioning engine (Get-PnPSiteTemplate, Get-PnPTenantTemplate, Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate, Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate) will not work because of this reason. The cookies will in general expire within a few days and if you use -UseWebLogin within that time popup window will appear that will disappear immediately, this is expected. Use -ForceAuthentication to reset the authentication cookies and force a new login. See example 10 for a full support for interactive logins using MFA and the ability to acquire Graph tokens.
EXAMPLE 10
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "contoso.sharepoint.com" -Interactive
Connects to the Azure AD, acquires an access token and allows PnP PowerShell to access both SharePoint and the Microsoft Graph. By default it will use the PnP Management Shell multi-tenant application behind the scenes, so make sure to run `Register-PnPManagementShellAccess` first.
EXAMPLE 11
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://portal.contoso.com" -TransformationOnPrem -CurrentCredential
Connects to on-premises SharePoint 2013, 2016 or 2019 site with the current user's on-premises Windows credential (e.g. domain\user). This option is only supported for being able to transform on-premises classic wiki, webpart, blog and publishing pages into modern pages in a SharePoint Online site. Although other PnP cmdlets might work as well, they're officially not supported for being used in an on-premises context. See http://aka.ms/sharepoint/modernization/pages for more details on page transformation.
EXAMPLE 12
Connect-PnPOnline -Url contoso.sharepoint.com -ManagedIdentity
Get-PnPTeamsTeam
Connects using a system assigned managed identity to Microsoft Graph. Using this way of connecting only works with environments that support managed identities: Azure Functions, Azure Automation Runbooks and the Azure Cloud Shell. Read up on this article how it can be used.
EXAMPLE 13
Connect-PnPOnline -Url contoso.sharepoint.com -ManagedIdentity -UserAssignedManagedIdentityObjectId 363c1b31-6872-47fd-a616-574d3aec2a51
Get-PnPList
Connects using an user assigned managed identity with object/principal ID 363c1b31-6872-47fd-a616-574d3aec2a51 to SharePoint Online. Using this way of connecting only works with environments that support managed identities: Azure Functions, Azure Automation Runbooks and the Azure Cloud Shell. Read up on this article how it can be used.
EXAMPLE 14
Connect-PnPOnline -Url contoso.sharepoint.com -AccessToken $token
This method assumes you have acquired a valid OAuth2 access token from Azure AD with the correct audience and permissions set. Using this method PnP PowerShell will not acquire tokens dynamically and if the token expires (typically after 1 hour) cmdlets will fail to work using this method.
EXAMPLE 15
Connect-PnPOnline -Url contoso.sharepoint.com -EnvironmentVariable -Tenant 'contoso.onmicrosoft.com'
This example uses the AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH and AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD environment variable values to authenticate. The AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variable must be present and Tenant parameter value must be provided.
EXAMPLE 16
Connect-PnPOnline -Url contoso.sharepoint.com -EnvironmentVariable
This example uses the AZURE_USERNAME and AZURE_PASSWORD environment variables as credentials to authenticate. If AZURE_CLIENT_ID is not present, then it will try to use the default PnP Management Shell Azure AD app as fallback and attempt to authenticate.
This method assumes you have the necessary environment variables available. For more information about the required environment variables, please refer to this article, Azure.Identity Environment Variables here.
So, when using -EnvironmentVariable method for authenticating, we will require AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH, AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD and AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variables for using the service principal with certificate method for authentication.
If AZURE_USERNAME, AZURE_PASSWORD and AZURE_CLIENT_ID, we will use these environment variables and authenticate using credentials flow.
We support only Service principal with certificate and Username with password mode for authentication. Configuration will be attempted in that order. For example, if values for a certificate and username+password are both present, the client certificate method will be used.
EXAMPLE 17
Connect-PnPOnline -Url contoso.sharepoint.com -AzureEnvironment Custom -MicrosoftGraphEndPoint "custom.graph.microsoft.com" -AzureADLoginEndPoint "https://custom.login.microsoftonline.com"
Use this method to connect to a custom Azure Environment. You can also specify the MicrosoftGraphEndPoint and AzureADLoginEndPoint parameters if applicable. If specified, then these values will be used to make requests to Graph and to retrieve access token.
EXAMPLE 18
Connect-PnPOnline -Url contoso.sharepoint.com -AzureADWorkloadIdentity
This example uses Azure AD Workload Identity to retrieve access tokens. For more information about this, please refer to this article, Azure AD Workload Identity. We are following the guidance mentioned in this sample to retrieve the access tokens.
PARAMETERS
-AccessToken
Using this parameter you can provide your own access token. Notice that it is recommend to use one of the other connection methods as this will limits the offered functionality on PnP PowerShell. For instance if the token expires (typically after 1 hour) will not be able to acquire a new valid token, which the other connection methods do allow. You are responsible for providing your own valid access token when using this parameter, for the correct audience, with the correct permissions scopes.
