Entra Admin - Groups All - Edit Photos - How?

Nate Braun 5

Looking for a way to update the group images in the same fashion as the user accounts.

Used to do this in Exchange admin, SharePoint admin, & admin center, but things keep changing.

Anyone know where this can currently be performed?

FYI - I was able to edit the group photo through my own Outlook Client by going into Groups.

Hello @Nate Braun ,

I understand you are looking for a way to update the group images from the Microsoft Admin Center.

You can't manage user photos for Microsoft 365 Groups using the Microsoft 365 admin center. You can only use Microsoft Graph PowerShell. The maximum supported size of a photo is 4 MB.

Follow the mentioned below steps to implement:

install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, use the Connect-MgGraph cmdlet to sign in with the required scopes. You need to sign in with an admin account to consent to the required scopes.
```
   Connect-MgGraph -Scopes
```

Set-MgGroupPhotoContent -GroupId

You get the ID GUID value of the Microsoft 365 Group from the output of a Get-MgGroup command, or You can get it from the Microsoft Admin Center.

For example:

Set-MgGroupPhotoContent -GroupId 173cd812-5563-439c-9da4-bc2715fa2aee -InFile "C:\Upload\Sales Department.png"

For detailed information follow the documents: Microsoft-Graph-Powershell, Groups

I hope the response is helpful to you. Let us know if you any further queries. Happy to assist you further.

Goutam,

Thanks very much for your answer. This worked for me.

I used the scopes in the command below to successfully make the change. Probably, only the last one "Group.ReadWrite.All" is needed, but I used them all as they were autofilled from previous work.

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.Read.all","UserAuthenticationMethod.Read.All","UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All","AuditLog.Read.All","Group.ReadWrite.All"
