Adding member to multiple private channels

Hi

Do you know of a way I can add few people to multiple private channels at the same time within a team?

  • MadhuMalie You can use the below script to do it. This script adds list of users from csv and it to all the private channels to the team, customize it as per your requirement.

     

    # Add a memeber to multiple private channel in single team
    # First install the modules...
    # Install-Module MicrosoftTeams
     function Add-MemberPrivatechannel
     {
        param (
        $TeamName,$ImportPath
        )
        process
        {
                # Connect to the Teams module
                Connect-MicrosoftTeams
                
                $GroupId = (Get-Team -DisplayName "$TeamName").GroupId
                #Get private channel
                $allprivatechannel= Get-TeamChannel -GroupId $GroupId -MembershipType Private
                #Add the username in the csv file
                $AllUsers= Import-Csv -Path $ImportPath 
                #Add a Member to privatechanel
                foreach($privatechannel in $allprivatechannel)
                {
                    foreach($Users in $AllUsers){   
                    $privatechannelname=$privatechannel.DisplayName
                    Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $GroupId -DisplayName "$privatechannelname" -User $Users.UserPrincipalName
                    }
                }
        }
    }
    Add-MemberPrivatechannel -TeamName "Design" -ImportPath "C:\Userfile\Userlist.csv"
