Documenting with PowerShell: Using PowerShell to create faster partner portal

I love having the ability to manage all clients from a single portal. My only issue is that the partner portal is quite error prone and sluggish, and it seems to get worse with each added client.

There are some more problems like only being able to find clients based on their name. So I’ve decided to make a quicker and a mostly simpler partner portal page. The page is a single HTML file with a search option. It allows you to access each of your clients portals using your credentials. The HTML page also allows search on all properties – I’ve added all domains in a hidden column so you can find clients based on the domain name too. Here’s how it looks:

There are two scripts; one that can run headless and uses the Secure App Model. Another that just uses your credentials.

Secure App Model Version

The reason I’ve made two versions is because we’re running a function page on azure that runs this script on a schedule.

Every day this page is updated for us and all my employees can access the page easily by browsing to the hosted page. I’ve of course made this page SSO with the Office365 credentials as described here. This way the page is always secured. Remember to change the last line to your own output folder.

Non-Secure App Model version

This is a version that you can run on-demand, simply to create the HTML file and host it internally or if you don’t have rapid client expansion just run it whenever a client is added.

Hi Kelvin,

Thanks for this, the simple layout is so much easier.
I did run into a problem with the non-SAM script, you’re missing a `” from the start O365 portal link. It’s breaking the link and just taking me to the first client in the list rather than the one I clicked 😛
This isn’t an issue on the first script.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Thanks for this Kelvin. I am hoping to this up with using the secureapp model. Can you tell me how you were able to bring the index.html file from the azure function over to the web app service?

  Hi Nathan,
  
  You can upload it by using the “Publisher profile” – this contains your FTP settings. 🙂
