Adding People to the People Web Part Programmatically (using PowerShell maybe?)
Hi Darren Parkinson,
I ran Get-PnPProvisioning Template before adding a people web part
Then I added a people web part and then ran Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate again
The difference is :
<pnp:CanvasControl WebPartType="People" JsonControlData="{"layout":1,"persons":[{"id":"i:0#.f|membership|pieter@mytenant.onmicrosoft.com","role":""}]}" ControlId="7f718435-ee4d-431c-bdbf-9c4ff326f46e" Column="1" />On the Add-PnPClientSideWebPart I couldn't find anything to add the data, but you could create a template whcih just includes the above webpart details and then add the web part with Apply-ProvisioningTemplate.

Interesting that it's only adding the JsonControlData field which is what I've be trying to do via PowerShell. I'll give it another go with that before giving up.
