SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Create A Folder And Set Unique Permission Using PnP PowerShell

In this blog, we are going to create a folder in Document Library and set unique permission to a user for this created folder using PnP Power Shell. The Administrator can set the required permission to a user depending on the organizational needs. Here we can use this script to set permission to a particular user. Please follow the below steps.

Step 1

Run the ISE in administrative mode. Then declare variables named “sUrl”, “user”, “Folder Name”, and “SiteRelativeURL” to store the respective values.

Step 2

Connect to PnP online and get the credentials.

Connect-PnPOnline-Url$sUrl-Credentials (Get-Credential)

Step 3

To create the folder in the document, use the PnP commands as shown in the code.

Add-PnPFolder-Name$FolderName-Folder$SiteRelativeURL-ErrorActionStop

Step 4

Copy and run the below codes to create a folder in Document and to set unique permission in the folder for a user.

#Config Variables  
$sUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/scriptEnable"  
$user = "srikanta@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"  
$FolderName = "Team Projects"  
$SiteRelativeURL = "/Shared Documents"  
#Site Relative URL in which the folder will be created  
Try {  
    Connect - PnPOnline - Url $sUrl - Credentials(Get - Credential)  
    # create folder using powershell  
    Add - PnPFolder - Name $FolderName - Folder $SiteRelativeURL - ErrorAction Stop  
    Write - host - f Green "New Folder '$FolderName' Created Sucessfully!"  
} catch {  
    write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red  
}  
try {  
    Write - host - f Green "Adding unique permission to '$FolderName'"  
    $Path = "/sites/scriptEnable/Shared%20Documents/" + $FolderName  
    #Set folder permissions  
    Set - PnPfolderPermission - List $ListName - identity $Path - User $user - AddRole "Edit"  
    Write - host "Successfully added permission" - ForegroundColor Green  
} catch {  
    write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red  
}

#Config Variables

$sUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/scriptEnable"

$user = "srikanta@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"

$FolderName = "Team Projects"

$SiteRelativeURL = "/Shared Documents"

#Site Relative URL in which the folder will be created

Try {

Connect - PnPOnline - Url $sUrl - Credentials(Get - Credential)

# create folder using powershell

Add - PnPFolder - Name $FolderName - Folder $SiteRelativeURL - ErrorAction Stop

Write - host - f Green "New Folder '$FolderName' Created Sucessfully!"

} catch {

write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red

}

try {

Write - host - f Green "Adding unique permission to '$FolderName'"

$Path = "/sites/scriptEnable/Shared%20Documents/" + $FolderName

#Set folder permissions

Set - PnPfolderPermission - List $ListName - identity $Path - User $user - AddRole "Edit"

Write - host "Successfully added permission" - ForegroundColor Green

} catch {

write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red

}

After running the script,

Folder “Team Project” is created successfully.

Now the permission is updated
