Can Adaxes create Azure Guest accounts

Question

Hi

We're utilising Azure more and more and are now frequently having to give guest access to Teams etc.

Is it possible to create these account types within Adaxes?

Thanks

Matt

Hello Matt,

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.

Thanks for the quick follow up (as always).

A further question then, is it possible for Adaxes to connect to Azure PowerShell using modern auth without prompting for any details? Our service acocunt has MFA disabled for it.

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, but we are not sure what exactly you need to achieve. Could you, please, describe the desired behavior in all the possible details with live examples?

Sure

I would like to have an option in the Adaxes portal for people to create Guest accounts in our Azure tenant so that they can invite external people to collaborate on Teams.

As there is no native way to do this yet, I can write a custom command to connect to AxureAD PowerShell and programatically create this account, but the last time I tried to use the AzureAD module with Adaxes I ran into an issue because with modern authentication it wasn't possible to use "Connect-AzureAD" without entering the password in a pop up.

Our Adaxes service account has permission to Azure and MFA is turned off for it so I was wondering if there was a way to use this with Connect-AzureAD without the password prompt? I hope this makes sense?

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying. You can use the -Credential parameter of the Connect-AzureAD cmdlet to pass required credentials. It should work just fine.

If you want to use the credentials of the account used to register your Microsoft 365 tenant in Adaxes, you can use the $Context. GetOffice365Credential() method to get the credentials.

Great, thanks for the info. I'll give it a go
