1 00:00:02,365 --> 00:00:04,030 We have now learned how to connect to 2 00:00:04,030 --> 00:00:06,514 SharePoint Online using the Microsoft 3 00:00:06,514 --> 00:00:09,111 provided modules, but I also want to teach 4 00:00:09,111 --> 00:00:13,027 you how to connect to Office 365 using the 5 00:00:13,027 --> 00:00:16,227 Office 365 Dev PnP PowerShell cmdlets, 6 00:00:16,227 --> 00:00:18,900 which you might not know about since it's 7 00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:24,379 not an official Microsoft module. So let's 8 00:00:24,379 --> 00:00:27,252 first find out what they are. The Office 9 00:00:27,252 --> 00:00:30,863 365 Dev PnP, which stands for Patterns and 10 00:00:30,863 --> 00:00:34,305 Practices is an open source initiative by 11 00:00:34,305 --> 00:00:37,285 the SharePoint engineering group at 12 00:00:37,285 --> 00:00:38,957 Microsoft, which contains multiple 13 00:00:38,957 --> 00:00:42,103 solutions, best practices, and code 14 00:00:42,103 --> 00:00:47,019 samples on how to do more with Office 365 15 00:00:47,019 --> 00:00:49,634 and SharePoint. One of the awesome 16 00:00:49,634 --> 00:00:52,628 solutions is the SharePoint and Office 365 17 00:00:52,628 --> 00:00:56,303 Dev PnP PowerShell Cmdlets, which include 18 00:00:56,303 --> 00:00:59,338 over 400 PowerShell cmdlets that allow you 19 00:00:59,338 --> 00:01:02,069 to do a lot more than what you can do with 20 00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:05,039 the Microsoft provided SharePoint Online 21 00:01:05,039 --> 00:01:08,559 PowerShell module. How do we get it? Well, 22 00:01:08,559 --> 00:01:12,042 the PnP PowerShell module is hosted on the 23 00:01:12,042 --> 00:01:14,208 PowerShell Gallery as well so the same 24 00:01:14,208 --> 00:01:16,872 thing as the SharePoint Online module, and 25 00:01:16,872 --> 00:01:19,157 the same prerequisites as the SharePoint 26 00:01:19,157 --> 00:01:22,486 Online module as well. In order to install 27 00:01:22,486 --> 00:01:25,545 it, we're going to run the Install-Module 28 00:01:25,545 --> 00:01:28,163 PowerShell cmdlet and then specified the 29 00:01:28,163 --> 00:01:32,176 name of the cmdlet, which is 30 00:01:32,176 --> 00:01:34,281 SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline. To connect, 31 00:01:34,281 --> 00:01:36,367 you need to be a SharePoint Online admin 32 00:01:36,367 --> 00:01:39,295 in order to manage things at the tenant 33 00:01:39,295 --> 00:01:42,190 level, like for example create a new site 34 00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:45,377 collection or play with hub sites and 35 00:01:45,377 --> 00:01:48,446 things like that. You can also simply be a 36 00:01:48,446 --> 00:01:50,736 site collection administrator if you only 37 00:01:50,736 --> 00:01:53,842 want to manage only a single site 38 00:01:53,842 --> 00:01:56,333 collection, and lastly, you'll need the 39 00:01:56,333 --> 00:01:59,044 URL of the site collection you want to 40 00:01:59,044 --> 00:02:01,161 manage or the URL of the SharePoint Online 41 00:02:01,161 --> 00:02:04,668 admin center if you want to manage tenant 42 00:02:04,668 --> 00:02:08,611 level settings. To connect, you simply get 43 00:02:08,611 --> 00:02:11,168 the credential and then run the 44 00:02:11,168 --> 00:02:12,347 Connect-PnPOnline PowerShell cmdlet 45 00:02:12,347 --> 00:02:15,742 specifying the URL of the site you want to 46 00:02:15,742 --> 00:02:18,165 connect to. So remember the tenant admin 47 00:02:18,165 --> 00:02:21,405 site or the SharePoint Online admin center 48 00:02:21,405 --> 00:02:23,592 URL, if you want to manage something 49 00:02:23,592 --> 00:02:26,098 across the tenant or create a new site 50 00:02:26,098 --> 00:02:28,859 collection and things like that, or the 51 00:02:28,859 --> 00:02:31,326 URL of the site collection that you want 52 00:02:31,326 --> 00:02:33,242 to manage specifically, and then give it 53 00:02:33,242 --> 00:02:36,664 your credential object. If you want to 54 00:02:36,664 --> 00:02:39,450 connect to SharePoint Online using the PnP 55 00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:42,388 module with multifactor authentication, it 56 00:02:42,388 --> 00:02:44,729 would still be the Connect-PnPOnline 57 00:02:44,729 --> 00:02:47,497 partial cmdlet, but we wouldn't be able to 58 00:02:47,497 --> 00:02:49,722 save that credential object so we're going 59 00:02:49,722 --> 00:02:52,788 to give it the -UseWebLogin switch 60 00:02:52,788 --> 00:02:55,061 parameter, which will open the pop-up 61 00:02:55,061 --> 00:02:58,294 required so we can enter our username and 62 00:02:58,294 --> 00:03:04,000 password, as well as second authentication method.
