How can I retrieve site permissions on a site or subsite using PnP PowerShell?

Example: https://$orgName.sharepoint.com/sites/IT/Atlas

Via the UI: Site settings > Site Permissions

With PnP PowerShell, the following didn't work for me:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://$orgName.sharepoint.com/sites/IT/Atlas" -Credentials $userCredential
$web = Get-PnPWeb -Includes RoleAssignments

[Edit] The above code actually seems to work, as $web.RoleAssignments.Count returns 5. My issue is that I don't know how to take it from here, to enumerate the 5 members and their roles.

RoleAssignments.Member returns 5 items but I can't figure out how to get the names and roles.

RoleAssignments.Groups only returns the SharePoint groups.

The question has been answered on Microsoft Tech Community.

Here is the accepted answer:

$cred = get-credential
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://$orgname.sharepoint.com" -Credentials $cred
$web = Get-PnPWeb -Includes RoleAssignments
foreach($ra in $web.RoleAssignments) {
    $member = $ra.Member
    $loginName = get-pnpproperty -ClientObject $member -Property LoginName
    $rolebindings = get-pnpproperty -ClientObject $ra -Property RoleDefinitionBindings
    write-host "$($loginName) - $($rolebindings.Name)"
    write-host  
}

The following PowerShell code snippet assits to retrieve the site properties:

$siteurl = "https://abc.sharepoint.com"
Connect-SPOnline -Url $siteurl
$ctx = Get-SPOContext

Get Current Context Site (Root)

function RetrieveSite(){
$web = Get-SPOWeb
Write-Host "Title : " $web.Title
Write-Host "Description : " $web.Description
Write-Host "URL : " $web.Url
}

Get Sub Site

function RetrieveSubSite(){
$web = Get-SPOWeb "PnPSite1"
Write-Host "Title : " $web.Title
Write-Host "Description : " $web.Description
Write-Host "URL : " $web.Url
}
RetrieveSite #Get Current Context Site (Root)
RetrieveSubSite #Get Sub Site

Please refer to the below link

    This doesn't answer the question for how to retrieve the permissions for a site.

  • Thanks for your reply. My question is specifically about fixing the code I posted (use of PnP), and retrieving site permissions. Everything else (title, description, URL) works as intended.
