403 with a ctx.load($WEB) executeQuery
I have a powershell script which is failing with a 403 Forbidden. I have tried 2 variants of Connect-PnPOnline
$SiteURL = “https://MyDomain.sharepoint.com/sites/MySPSite/”
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Interactive
# Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -UseWebLogin
$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
$Web = $Ctx.Web
$Ctx.Load($Web)
$Ctx.Load($Web.AllProperties)
$Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
The ExecuteQuery returns a 403 forbidden.
I am in the ‘Site Owners’ Group for https://MyDomain.sharepoint.com/sites/MySPSite
I have the SharePoint Administrator role activated in Portal.Azure.Com >> Azure AD roles
What am I missing ? All suggestions gratefully received. Thank you
Hi RichardS ,
If you want to use the authentication provided by PnP Powershell, then you need to get the context using the "Get-PnPContext" command$Ctx=Get-PnPContext $Web = $Ctx.Web $Ctx.Load($Web) $Ctx.Load($Web.AllProperties) $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
If you call$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)you create a context object that has not yet been authenticated.
Best Regards,
Sven
