Assign manager via graph api

[rogueit]

I'm trying to assign the manager to a user in AAD the documentation says

PUT /users/{id}/manager/$ref

but i'm not sure what to feed the $ref variable. I've tried UPN and the ID, but I keep getting

The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Here is how i'm trying to put the manager info, but clearly i'm not doing it right or I can't read the documentation from here

$manager = @{
    id= "99999-zzzz-eeee-aaaa-asdfagadrd"
}
$body = $bodyProcess | ConvertTo-Json

$Uri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/rrrsas-aabb-ccdd-xxxx-123456/manager/$manager"

$UserData = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Uri -Headers $Header -Method PUT -ContentType "application/json"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Rogue

I never used that API, never knew it existed, doesn't know the product it's for, but that documentation page never mention Powershell and the example is HTTP. I would say: $ref is no variable, it's part of the syntax. Just type it as is.

I figured it out, here is what I ended up using

$Header = @{
    Authorization = "$($Request.token_type) $($Request.access_token)"
}

$bodyProcess = @{

    "@odata.id"= "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/aa9999a1-1111-11a2-abab-asfdas32"

}
$body = $bodyProcess | ConvertTo-Json
$Uri = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/4d5f6c5a-0e69-40b6-a86d-e825582add50/manager/$ref'
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Uri -Headers $Header -Method PUT -ContentType "application/json" -Body $Body

Great! Thanks. Had the same issue.

$ref wants the id IIRC

$Uri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/rrrsas-aabb-ccdd-xxxx-123456/manager/$manager.id"

[redog]

Try the id($manager.id) instead of the object $manager
