[BUG]How to use PnP PowerShell application if we are not SharePoint Administrator

[braadinny]

Notice

As per new requirement, Pnp powershell needs to be registered with AllSites.Read permission.

https://pnp.github.io/powershell/articles/registerapplication.html

I work for a small agency that shares a Microsoft 365 tenant with several other agencies. My access is limited to being a Site Collection Administrator for the sites specific to my agency.

Given these constraints, is there a way to leverage PnP PowerShell to automate tasks within my agency’s site collections without requiring intervention from the Tenant-level SharePoint Administrators for each automation?

AllSites.Read expose read access to the sites that are not part of my agency and it is a huge security risk.

You will have to be a SharePointAdministrator to be able to Connect to PNP to run the commands. You would need a Tenant-level account for each automation. Could use a service account for it.
