I want to disable the consent dialog on one of my apps, which is called "Receiving Pictures Upload." I've tried no quotes, single quotes, and double quotes. Same error. What am I doing wrong? I am not a PowerShell user at all, so sort of hacking my way through this.

PS C:\Users\userpath> Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent -'Receiving Pictures Upload' {xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx}
Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-Receiving
Pictures Upload'.

Hi @EdHansberry ,

Did you mean that if the app name doesn't contain a space, then it will run successfully?

Regards,

Mona

No, but it is because the syntax here is wrong, or I don't know enough about how those who talk about PowerShell write about syntax. It should be the following:

Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent -AppName "xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx"

No actual name needed, and the app ID goes in double quotes, not squiggly brackets.
