Setting Azure B2B Users as Members via the invitation

Question

Hi All, apologies if I haven't spotted this answer in another post. I am a PowerShell newbie, I am looking for a command to invite Azure B2B users and make them as Members. I have been using the command&nbsp;Get-AzureADUser -SearchString userid@domain.co.uk | Set-AzureADUser -UserType member for individuals, but there is a need for me to bulk invite 100+ users and make them as members, any pointers will be very helpful. Many thanks in advance. Sabs

Hi adam deltinger&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for the quick response, I did look at that article before running my script, however it errored on InvitedUserType command. My script is:&nbsp;$invitations = import-csv c:\scripts\bulkinvite.csv$messageInfo = New-Object Microsoft.Open.MSGraph.Model.InvitedUserMessageInfo$messageInfo.customizedMessageBody = "You are invited to the XXXXX organization."foreach ($email in $invitations) {New-AzureADMSInvitation `-InvitedUserEmailAddress $email.InvitedUserEmailAddress `-InvitedUserDisplayName $email.Name `-InviteRedirectUrl https://myapps.azure.com `-InvitedUserMessageInfo $messageInfo `-SendInvitationMessage $false-InvitedUserType "Member"}&nbsp;The result is the User is invited as Guest and I get the following output:&nbsp;&nbsp;InvitedUserType : GuestStatus : PendingAcceptance-InvitedUserType : The term '-InvitedUserType' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, oroperable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and tryagain.At line:8 char:7+ -InvitedUserType "Member"+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (-InvitedUserType:String) [], CommandNotFoundException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundExceptionThanks again,Sabs&nbsp;

This is&nbsp;a snippet&nbsp;from a script I used to invite &gt; 5000 users to our tenant (and later to invite a few hundred more)&nbsp;Up near the top of the script, I assign this (this is to make a member) - I don't think it is case sensitive$B2Busertype="member"&nbsp;This code is used later (you can make an educated guess what the variables are from their names)Watch for line wraps!&nbsp;if ([string]::isnullorempty($displayname)) {&nbsp;# if no displayname is specified, don't pass the parameter&nbsp;&nbsp;try {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$result=New-AzureADMSInvitation -InvitedUserEmailAddress $upn -InviteRedirectUrl $url -SendInvitationMessage $false -InvitedUserType $B2Busertype -ea stop&nbsp;&nbsp;} catch {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$goterr=1&nbsp;&nbsp;} # end try catch&nbsp;} else {&nbsp;&nbsp;try {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$result=New-AzureADMSInvitation -InvitedUserEmailAddress $upn -InviteRedirectUrl $url -SendInvitationMessage $false -InvitedUserType $B2Busertype -InvitedUserDisplayName $displayname -ea stop&nbsp;&nbsp;} catch {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$goterr=1&nbsp;&nbsp;} # end try catch&nbsp;} # end if [string] null displayname&nbsp;

Try changing "-InvitedUserType" to "-UserType". This should work fine.
