Support for simplified methods to authenticate against SharePoint
Now for user credentials flow, instead of
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url=site_url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username,password):
ctx = ClientContext(site_url, ctx_auth)
an authenticated client could be initialized like this:
ctx = ClientContext.connect_with_credentials(site_url, UserCredential(username,password))
and for client credentials flow (aka SharePoint App-Only) instead of
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url=site_url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_app(client_id,client_secret):
ctx = ClientContext(site_url, ctx_auth)
like this:
ctx = ClientContext.connect_with_credentials(site_url, ClientCredential(client_id,client_secret))
Introduced support for provision modern Team & Communication sites (#179)
-
GroupSiteManager.create_group_ex - create a Team site
-
SPSiteManager.create - create a Communication site
Examples
Create a Team Site
client = ClientContext.connect_with_credentials(url,ClientCredential(client_id,client_secret))
site_manager = GroupSiteManager(client)
info = site_manager.create_group_ex("Team Site", "teamsite", True, None)
client.execute_query()
Create a Communication site
client = ClientContext.connect_with_credentials(url,ClientCredential(client_id,client_secret))
site_manager = SPSiteManager(client)
request = SPSiteCreationRequest("CommSite", "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/commsite")
response = site_manager.create(request)
client.execute_query()
