How to Add a Member to an Administrative Unit in Office 365

To add a member to an administrative unit in Office 365 with PowerShell, use the Add-MsolAdministrativeUnit cmdlet.

# Get the administrative unit from Azure Active Directory
$AdministrativeUnit = Get-MsolAdministrativeUnit -SearchString "East Coast"  

# Get the MsolUser
$User = Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName "[email protected]" 

# Add a member to the administrative unit
Add-MsolAdministrativeUnitMember -AdministrativeUnitObjectId $AdministrativeUnit.ObjectId -AdministrativeUnitMemberObjectId $User.ObjectId

The Get-MsolAdministrativeUnit cmdlet in PowerShell gets an administrative unit that matches the search string “East Coast” and stores the administrative unit in the $AdministrativeUnit variable.

The Get-MsolUser command in PowerShell gets a user using the user principal name “[email protected]” and stores the user in the $User variable.

The Add-MsolAdministrativeUnitMember command adds the user in $User to the administrative Unit in the $AdministrativeUnit. Both variables are identified by ObjectId.
