Add Guest user to Azure AD using power automate

Posted on by Apkt

Hello,

As a new user with the power platform I have the following to work on.

I am trying to automate the process of adding guest - external users to Azure AD.

The idea is someone from the company wishes to add external people to their MS Teams team and contacts the support team. At the moment someone from the support team adds the external user manually to Azure AD as guest and then the submitter adds them into teams.

Instead I have created an MS Forms for the submitter to send the name and email of the external user. A flow then populates an SP List with the MS Form info and then send an approval email to support to approve or decline. Once approved then it should add the guest user to Azure AD. This last part is the one I am missing as the Azure AD Create user connector seems to work only for adding normal users? The user i have has access to add guest users only.

Is there a workaround or another logic/ better way of doing this?

Thank you for the help

Hi @Apkt

I found two blogs that can help you with this problem, I think you should use Graph API.

Hope this can help you.

Cheers.

Forgive me for being ignorant, the above examples both have an app being added to AzureAD in order to use that to make the http call.

In my case all i need is to add the user in Azure AD as a guest and possibly sent the invitation email with the default link AzureAD sends if you did it manually via Azure, at this stage i don't want to associate an app. After they are added, then the person who requested to add the guest user will manually add the user to their MS Teams. Would this be possible?

Hi,

I followed the same doc as you but I am getting an "Enter a valid json". Did you get the same or did you change anything?

{
“invitedUserDisplayName”: “@{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r50132bc6e1704423b6c46b2643fb7dea']}”,
“invitedUserEmailAddress”: “@{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r4ba646a99769449284065db6634b375d']}”,
“sendInvitationMessage”: false,
“inviteRedirectUrl”: “https://akramqureshi.com/2019/12/”
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Fred

Just spent ages trying to work this out,

I also had the invalid JSON error,
It was the quotation marks that was the issue, try the following:

{
"invitedUserDisplayName": "Dynamic username",
"invitedUserEmailAddress": "Dynamic email",
"sendInvitationMessage": false,
"inviteRedirectUrl": "Another web address"
}
Hope that helps!
