Office-docs-powershell: Access Denied when using New-CsGroupPolicyAssignment

[aidancopps]

Attempts to use the *-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlets are giving a Access Denied error even when using a Teams Service Administrator account. Are the cmdlets available for all tenants to use or is this still restricted to certain tenants in a private preview?

Hi @aidancopps, thank you for your feedback.

@tomkau could you kindly help with this issue? I tested these cmdlets and also get "Access denied" using 1.0.21 module.

I am having the same issue as @dariomws and attempt at using the Get-CsGroupPolicyAssignment gives me an Access Denied error.

[Padavid]

I am also have the same issue with Get and New.

[damirko1003]

Same for me. Could you please provide a feedback on this issue?

[matambanadzo]

Same here. Access denied. Need to know steps on getting our tenant whitelisted.

[SRSLY-AU]

I'm also having the same issue. Would desperately like to know the fix, or whatever steps are required to get our tennant whitelisted.

@tomkau could you kindly help with this issue?

[tameemansari]

This is a preview feature and is available only to whitelisted tenants. @tomkau can confirm if the error message received is for tenants who are not part of the preview.

Seen this update on the message center.
Updated March 4, 2020: To ensure the best experience we are adjusting the roll-out timeframe for this feature. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Teams administrators will soon be able to assign policies to a batch of users or to a group. We’ll be releasing this in late May (previously March).

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 61185.

@dariomws and @tameemansari Thank you very much for the contribution and sharing this explanation. @aidancopps Hope this comment is helpful for you. If you see a documentation update is required, please feel free to open an issue for the same. We proceed here to close it. Thanks for taking out some time to open the issue. Appreciate and encourage you to do the same in future also.

How do you get added to the whitelist? How do you get on the preview list?

[dariomws]

Hi @jensmarshall, please check this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/private-channels-life-cycle-management#install-the-latest-teams-powershell-module-from-the-powershell-test-gallery

[jensmarshall]

I have installed the the PSGalleryInt repository, and have version 1.0.22 on one machine & 1.0.21 on the other. When I run the commands from the page you linked, I receive the Access Denied error message.

[dariomws]

Hi @jensmarshall, thank you for your feedback.

Sorry, my mistake. It's not yet available in the preview module. It will be available on May:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=61185

I think you should contact support to WhiteList your tenant.
