Add/Invite Guest User to Azure Active Directory and then add users to AAD groups

Posted on by red71

I am brand new to Power Automate. I am looking to do the following.

Create a flow that's triggered by a Microsft form submission.

1) I have created a Microsoft form with a number of fields; full-name, surname, email address and semi-colon list of "AAD group names" separated by a semi-colon(s).

2) I have been following the following article.

Create AAD Guest User with Invitation

3) I have created and tested the following which works;

- One Microsoft form will fields; fullname, surname, email-address and AAD-groups. NB: the AAD group name value format is.

"aad-grp-name1;aad-grp-name2,aad-grp-name3"

- The 'flow' checks to see if the 'email address' exists in AAD and if it doesn't the 'flow' creates a AAD 'guest' user and sends out an email invitation - this all works.

4) What I need help with (code and screen-shots if possible) in 'flow'...

After the AAD 'guest user' creation...

- Split the AAD group string in to individual groups (maybe in to a string array)???

- Loop through the array contanining and for each AAD group..

- Check the group exists in AAD. If the group exists add the 'guest' user if they're not in the group already.

- If the AAD group doesn't exist ignore and move on to the next group in the array OR the user already in the grou.

Regards

Hi @red71,

Like you mentioned, you could split the answer to turn it into an array which you can use within an apply to each loop. Within that loop you can use Graph API to $filter the groups on for example the mailnickname property. If it comes up with no results you can skip it. That skip part can be done with a condition.

Below is an example.

Split function. Replace it by your question id:

split(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/ra347e34f17ea4e67afab9ee28ff44504'], ';')

Graph API URI to find the group of the current item in the loop:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/?$filter=mailnickname eq '@{item()}'

Check if it returns empty or not:

length(body('Send_an_HTTP_request')['value'])

is not equal to 0

Group Id of the first result found:

body('Send_an_HTTP_request')['value'][0]['id']

Thanks very much. I have followed your guidance and all is good accept last step.

Happy to accept this as the answer.

The issue with the "add member to AAD group" part.

I am not sure where the 'id' is coming from? (however I think I know the issue)

For the add/create AAD user I am actually using a 'HTTP Post' which returns json of the form...

{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#invitations/$entity",
"id": "3e0306e2-fc96-3a44-78de-753723fe4d17",
"inviteRedeemUrl": "redacted",
"invitedUserDisplayName": "John Doe",
"invitedUserType": "Guest",
"invitedUserEmailAddress": "jdoe@yahoo.com",
"sendInvitationMessage": true,
"inviteRedirectUrl": "https://portal.azure.com/",
"status": "PendingAcceptance",
"invitedUserMessageInfo": {
"messageLanguage": null,
"customizedMessageBody": "",
"ccRecipients": [
{
"emailAddress": {
"name": null,
"address": null
}
}
]
},
"invitedUser": {
"id": "23d55bef-Fgha-4dfb-99f3-f8d03ce9c3d0"
}
}
The invitedUser.idholds the value which is the object-id of the user in AAD however I don't know how to reference this field in the last step in adding the user to the AAD group - can you help?

Hi @red71,

In your setup you could use the following expression to retrieve the id of the user:

body('HTTP')['invitedUser']['id']

Btw, I was using the user id from a Get user action. Which does not work for your setup, I have changed to the above setup.
