Larger tenants office 365 administrator many a times have to assign one of the office 365 admin Roles in bulk.
I have also been in such a situation and being lazy helps me & community as sharing the code for everyone to use 🙂
Here are the Office 365 Roles that can be assigned using GUI or MSOL cmdlets.
Download the script from below link:
https://github.com/VikasSukhija/Downloads/blob/master/AssignO365Admin.ps1
Create a input text file with list of UserPrincipalName to whom you want to assign a designated role.
For example: Security Administrator for members of your organization IT security team.
.\AssignO365Admin.ps1 -Role ‘Security Administrator’ -filePath C:\AssignO365Admin\Users.txt
As Validation Set has been used inside the script so you can just use Tab to browse between the values.
Ones launched it will ask you for office 365 admin credentials and will start applying the selected role as shown in below screen shots.
Note: MSOL is essential component for this script (refer for install : https://techwizard.cloud/2015/04/30/connecting-office-365-via-powershell/)
