New-EntraIdentityProvider

Module:

Microsoft.Entra.SignIns Module v1.3

Configure a new identity provider in the directory.

New-EntraIdentityProvider

 -Type <String>
 -ClientSecret <String>
 -ClientId <String>
 [-Name <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

The New-EntraIdentityProvider cmdlet is used to configure an identity provider in the directory.

Adding an identity provider will allow users to sign up for or sign into applications secured by Azure AD B2C using the identity provider.

Configuring an identity provider in your Microsoft Entra tenant also enables future B2B guest scenarios.

For example, an organization has resources in Microsoft 365 that needs to be shared with a Gmail user. The Gmail user will use their Google account credentials to authenticate and access the documents.

The current set of identity providers can be:

• Microsoft
• Google
• Facebook
• Amazon
• LinkedIn

In delegated scenarios using work or school accounts, the signed-in user must have a Microsoft Entra role or custom role with the necessary permissions. The following least privileged roles support this operation:

• External Identity Provider Administrator

Connect-Entra -Scopes 'IdentityProvider.ReadWrite.All'
New-EntraIdentityProvider -Type 'LinkedIn' -Name 'LinkedInName' -ClientId 'LinkedInAppClientId' -ClientSecret 'LinkedInAppClientSecret'

Id DisplayName
-- -----------
LinkedIn-OAUTH LinkedInName

This example adds a LinkedIn identity provider.

• -Type parameter specifies the identity provider type. It must be one of the following values: Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon, or LinkedIn.
• -Name parameter specifies the display name of the identity provider.
• -ClientId parameter specifies the client identifier for the application, obtained during the application's registration with the identity provider.
• -ClientSecret parameter specifies the client secret for the application, obtained during registration with the identity provider.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
