How to change the name of app owner - I know PowerShell cmdlet - it gives error

How to change the name of app owner - I know PowerShell cmdlet - it gives error. So please don't provide a link to the Page where all cmdlets are listed. 

 

I use this cmdlet interactively.

Set-AdminPowerAppOwner

It asks for AppName, EnvironmentName and AppOwner.

What should I supply? AppName has space - do I put into double quotes? same with EnvironmentName.

Or Do enter AppID and Environment UniqueID? Whar should be entered for AppOwner? O365 Login ID? Display name ? Anyone who has tried this, please provide the above details. I will really appreciate it.

 

Thanks

    You need to supply the relevant names, which to most people look more like IDs.

     

    You get the EnvironmentName from the list of the following command:

    Get-PowerAppEnvironment

    You get the PowerApp Name from the following command:

    Get-PowerApp

    What you are probably refering to as the AppName is actually the DisplayName.

    You get the user id through a call to AzureAD.

    Connect-AzureAD
$user = Get-AzureADUser -searchstring [e-mail-address]

    Then you can call the command you know:

    Set-AdminPowerAppOwner -AppName [AppName] -EnvironmentName [EnvironmentName] -Owner $user.ObjectId

    [AppName] and [EnvironmentName] should look something like xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

     

    Hope this helps
