    Sudharsan K.,

    Thanks for the reply.  

     

    Web parts are not on the agenda for me at this point.  I want to write a Winform application to manage users and permissions.  I would like to know if it is possible to have my development environment on Windows 10 as the people who will use the app will be on Windows 10 managing users and permissions on our Sharepoint online instance.

     

    1. Can I create a development environment on Windows 10?
    2. Do you know of any code snippets or examples for managing Sharepoint online users and permissions that run in a Winform?

    Thank you.

      Hi,
      Yes, you can use Windows 10 for developing the application for SharePoint. Use Visual Studio Community or VS Code for your development based on your experience. Use PnP CSOM which is the patterns and practices client-side object model used to connect to SharePoint Online and you can do most of the operations programmatically. Please look at the below samples

      Hope it helps, please like it or mark it as a solution if it resolves ur clarification or issue
