Setting Azure B2B Users as Members via the invitation

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 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 

       

      Thanks for the quick response, I did look at that article before running my script, however it errored on InvitedUserType command. My script is:

       

      $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"
      }

       

      The result is the User is invited as Guest and I get the following output: 

       

      InvitedUserType : Guest
      Status : PendingAcceptance

      -InvitedUserType : The term '-InvitedUserType' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
      operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
      again.
      At line:8 char:7
      + -InvitedUserType "Member"
      + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (-InvitedUserType:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

      Thanks again,

      Sabs

        This is a snippet from a script I used to invite > 5000 users to our tenant (and later to invite a few hundred more)

         

        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"

         

        This code is used later (you can make an educated guess what the variables are from their names)


        Watch for line wraps!


         if ([string]::isnullorempty($displayname)) {
         # if no displayname is specified, don't pass the parameter
          try {
           $result=New-AzureADMSInvitation -InvitedUserEmailAddress $upn -InviteRedirectUrl $url -SendInvitationMessage $false -InvitedUserType $B2Busertype -ea stop
          } catch {
           $goterr=1
          } # end try catch
         } else {
          try {

           $result=New-AzureADMSInvitation -InvitedUserEmailAddress $upn -InviteRedirectUrl $url -SendInvitationMessage $false -InvitedUserType $B2Busertype -InvitedUserDisplayName $displayname -ea stop
          } catch {
           $goterr=1
          } # end try catch
         } # end if [string] null displayname
