Great video - I have an idea for you. Many people have complained to MS that there isn't a bulk method for hiding chats (or leaving, deleting etc). For many of us this becomes a very tedious task. Can PS help? Thanks again!!

At a quick glance, that looks like it would take diving into the Teams API to find a user's chats and remove or soft-delete them.

What is the future of Microsoft Graph API, and how is Microsoft evolving it? Is investing in learning this skill for career growth a good idea?

@jeffbrowntech 2 ай бұрын

Learning how to interact with any API is a good thing. Microsoft's Graph API is the gateway to managing all of its services directly. You can write your own code to perform actions or get information. I've used it when there wasn't a clear PowerShell cmdlet or it had limitations that querying the API directly was better.

Off the jump, it looked like you could just use parameter sets for private. Haven’t finished video though.

@mattcargile 3 ай бұрын

Oh nvm. It’s a parameter value you are keying on. I would just have a private channel switch maybe or another function. Dynamic param is nice too. I usually forget about it. Hmmm

@mattcargile 3 ай бұрын

Hmmm. Yeah I see this simplifies UX while complicating for the dev. I think it is a win especially to reduce complexity. It might reduce discoverability in the help. I’m curious if private channel owner would show in the help.

@jeffbrowntech 3 ай бұрын

For sure, multiple parameters to cover parameter sets, my goal here was to have one parameter for the channel name, channel type, then specify a private channel owner when needed. But definitely multiple ways to accomplish this.

I dig regex for searching through logs or parsing native command output where the formatting isn't quite predictable. I also tend to use it with the "-replace" operator to either remove the text matching a pattern or transform it somehow. One of the most common uses for me though is within Visual Studio Code and doing a regex search, or find & replace, in a file or across all files in the repo. That is super helpful when you need to find a very specific pattern and change it everywhere.

When I need to save some kind of state in a module, I’ll use a script scope variable as well. Typically I’ll explicitly declare that variable in my PSM1 so that there’s one place to go to know all script scope variables used in the module. And I’ll try to minimize the functions that touch the variable directly. Usually by having private get/set functions and ensuring that any other function that needs the variable will get it from the private function rather than accessing it directly. Depending on the circumstances, environment vars can fill a similar role except they’re available in the global scope making them transparently available to the user and any other script/module running in that session.

@jeffbrowntech 3 ай бұрын

Do you create the variable outside all the functions in your PSM1 file? Did not think of that approach but I like it!

@psjoshooaj 3 ай бұрын

@@jeffbrowntechExactly, not that it makes a _technical_ difference, but I know there is only one place to look to remember if/which script scope variables are being used and it feels more intentional. I also do a lot of C# code and it still feels dirty to declare a variable in an “inner scope” and then access it outside of that “scope” even though those try-block or if-block scopes are imaginary and don’t exist in PowerShell.

@jeffbrowntech 3 ай бұрын

@@psjoshooaj I agree, I like the idea of having one place where the variable lives, then the get/set functions to control it. Thank you for sharing!

brand new to graph, and this video is where i started. i tried editing the department, and i got the following error. "code": "Authorization_RequestDenied", "message": "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.", this was performed with the global admin for my account, and i confirmed i can edit this property in the azure identity portal i can pull these attributes just fine. do i have an application permission limitation in this explorer?

@hassenfepher 3 ай бұрын

looks like i needed to add permissions in the permissions tab. i made it work. is there a way to grant these permissions temporarily? if i close the session, will the api permissions persist? should i manually revoke the permissions i just granted at the end of this exercise to reduce the attack surface until i get back into graph?

@@hassenfepher I believe those permissions are persistent, if you are unsure of leaving those out there, go ahead and revoke them.

That was a great tutorial on dynamic parameters! I've used them a couple of times, but I generally avoid them because of the added complexity for me and the reduced discoverability for users. For the example here with public vs private "Teams teams" I'm not sure whether I would come up with a way to use a second parameterset, or have two public commands like "New-PublicChannel" and "New-PrivateChannel" which delegate to a single private function to do the work (to minimize duplicate code). One of the things that holds me back from using dynamic parameters is the lack of platyPS support but if I remember correctly, I think Sean Wheeler mentioned platyPS v1 may have support for dynamic parameters and supposedly they're aiming to release v1 this year so it's definitely worth another look!
