Update-M365DSCAzureAdApplication

Description

This function creates or updates an application in Azure AD. It assigns permissions, grants consent and creates a secret or uploads a certificate to the application.

This application can then be used for Application Authentication.

The provided permissions have to be as an array of hashtables, with Api=Graph, SharePoint or Exchange and PermissionsName set to a list of permissions. See examples for more information.

NOTE: Please make sure you have the following permissions for the 'Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools' Enterprise Application in your tenant:

• Application.ReadWrite.All

You can add this scope to the 'Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools' Enterprise Application by running the following command:

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes 'Application.ReadWrite.All'

NOTE: If consent cannot be given for whatever reason, make sure all these permissions are given Admin Consent by browsing to the App Registration in Azure AD > API Permissions and clicking the "Grant admin consent for " button.
