No New-MgInvitation errors but guest user not created

[lucafabbri365]

Describe the bug

I'm using Microsoft.Graph v2.30.0 module on PowerShell 7.5.3. Following issue started to appear recently with New-MgInvitation cmdlet while inviting new Guest users.

I launch this cmdlet::

New-MgInvitation -InvitedUserEmailAddress <EmailAddress> -InviteRedirectUrl <MyCustoUrl> -InvitedUserType 'Guest'

All is working fine: the cmdlet returns Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Models.MicrosoftGraphInvitation object containing:

Id                      : <Guid>
InviteRedeemUrl         : https://login.microsoftonline.com/redeem?...                          
InviteRedirectUrl       : <MyCustomUrl>
InvitedUser             : Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Models.MicrosoftGraphUser
InvitedUserDisplayName  :
InvitedUserEmailAddress : <EmailAddress>
InvitedUserMessageInfo  : Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Models.MicrosoftGraphInvitedUserMessageInfo
InvitedUserSponsors     :
InvitedUserType         : Guest
ResetRedemption         : False
SendInvitationMessage   : False
Status                  : PendingAcceptance
AdditionalProperties    : {[@odata.context, https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#invitations/$entity]}

However, the user has not been created in Entra ID: it does not appear either when running Get-MgUser -Filter "UserType eq 'Guest' and Mail eq '<EmailAddress>' or in Entra ID Portal.

These are the scopes enabled in the Microsoft Graph connection (Get-MgContext).Scopes:

• Directory.Read.All
• Directory.ReadWrite.All
• User.ReadWrite.All ...

Expected behavior

I would expect that, since the cmdlet does not return any errors but instead an object indicating it completed successfully, the user should be created in Entra ID.

How to reproduce

1. Open PowerShell 7.5.3
2. Import-Module Microsoft.Graph
3. Connect-MgGraph
4. New-MgInvitation -InvitedUserEmailAddress <EmailAddress> -InviteRedirectUrl <MyCustoUrl> -InvitedUserType 'Guest'

SDK Version

2.30.0

Latest version known to work for scenario above?

2.30.0

Known Workarounds

The creation of a new guest user from the Entra ID portal works correctly.

As the HTTP requests are being sent to the server and received correctly this appears to be an issue with the underlying HTTP API.

I'm leaving this open until we can move it to the team that owns that specific API

BTW, this works with V2.32 of the SDK:

New-MgInvitation -InvitedUserEmailAddress '[email protected]' -InvitedUserDisplayName 'Joe T. Smoke' -InvitedUserType 'Guest' -InviteRedirectUrl "https://myapps.microsoft.com"
