Must use Powershell version 7 for this to work

To connect to SharePoint Online with PowerShell, you must first Install the PnP PowerShell module. Then, create an application registration in Microsoft Entra ID. After that, you can use the Connect-PnPOnline cmdlet to connect interactively without entering your credentials. In this article, you will learn how to connect to SharePoint Online using the PnP PowerShell module.

Create application registration in Microsoft Entra ID

To connect interactively to your tenant with PnP PowerShell, you must create an application registration in Microsoft Entra ID. There are two methods to do this:

• PowerShell (automatically)
• Microsoft Entra ID (manually)

Register PnP application with PowerShell (automatic)

To register the PnP application with PowerShell, you must run the command below. You must specify the tenant domain name to register the application in Microsoft Entra.

Register-PnPEntraIDAppForInteractiveLogin -ApplicationName "PnP Rocks" -Tenant "ms365info.onmicrosoft.com" -Interactive

A prompt will appear where you must sign in with your global admin credentials. After that, another prompt will appear to accept the permissions.

The application client ID will appear at the end of the PowerShell output. Ensure that you copy and save it because you need to use it to connect with PnP later.
