  4. Add/Remove/Copy user permissions with PowerShell

    Add powershell cmdlets to add/remove/copy user permissions.

    This could be useful, for example, for a user that needs to replace thousands of users due to an AD domain change, it would be useful to be able to use a CSV for all the users

  5. Diagnostics for Powershell tasks

    My migration has to be managed through tasks initiated in Powershell, and I have had some issues that needed ShareGate support, however the trace diagnostics only apply to the ShareGate app UI, the PS initated tasks don't get traced. Replicating the scenario through the UI and tracing it was laborious and futile.

  8. Support Azure App Registration for Powershell Modern Auth for Unattended Scripts.

    Ability to use Azure App registration for powershell modern authentication in order to support unattended scripts.

    Using -browser param, defeats purpose of scripting automation for large volume migrations of sites during off hours.

    Basic Legacy auth will eventually be deprecated by MS.

  11. Support powershell 7 in ShareGate

    Usually, I have a mixed environment on-prem + SPO, so I use Powershell 5 for on-prem, and Powershell 7 for SPO with installed pnp modules to do some additional steps. Would be nice if the ShareGate module could work in PowerShell 7+ currently I receive there

    [0] PS-105-405 (RetryFailed: False) --- Sharegate.Common.Exceptions.SGUnsupportedPowerShellVersionException: ShareGate doesn't support PowerShell version 7.2.5. Please use PowerShell 5.1 instead.

  12. Have a -exclude command in PowerShell

    To have an -Exclude switch in the powershell command set so that you can specific list/libraries to exclude from a run.

    Most instances, the excludes are much less than the included lists.

  13. Release powershell process after job is submitted

    I think there should be an option to just submit the job to the ShareGate client (like you do in the GUI), and then release the PowerShell process for other work.

    The ShareGate client would then scan and upload to storage blob and show reports etc how thing goes. This would also allow us to close the PowerShell window after submitting the job. As now, if it’s closed, the job is cancelled, and you need to restart it.

  17. Configure links in task names (PowerShell)

    Out-of-the-box tasks have embeded links that can be clicked to navigate to the source and destination libraries.

    If we create a task in PowerShell and assign it a custom name, the ability to configure clickable links does not seem to work/exist.

    It would be interesting if the -TaskName parameter of the Copy Content command could be used to create clickable links just like the ootb functionality does.

  20. Copy-Content: add -VersionLimit parameter

    It'd be great if the -VersionLimit parameter could be added to Copy-Content.

    Currently I'm having to use a three step process where I disable versions, copy the content and then re-enable versioning.
