Use token with connect-pnponline

[joergrenn]

Hello,

I would like to connect using an access token, but is does not work for me. I don't know if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong.
I am using 1.11.0 PnP.PowerShell with Powershell 7.2.7 in macOS 12.6.1.
When I connect using Device login (Connect-PnPOnline -Url "" -DeviceLogin) everything works fine. However when switching between sites I have to enter the device code all the time.
I try to get a token and then use it to connect to other sites:
$token = Get-PnPAccessToken
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "" -accesstoken $token
I don't get any error messages. But when I try to access anything I get "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."
It works using -devicelogin, so my permissions in general are correct.
I also tried $token = Get-PnPAccessToken -ResourceTypeName SharePoint , but this did not help as well.
I did not find any example online how to use tokens to get connected.

best regards
Joerg

I have the same issue, anyone? Running 1.12.0.

I have the same for Get-PnPAccessToken. According to the documentation it allows SharePoint API & CSOM connections.
https://pnp.github.io/powershell/cmdlets/Get-PnPAccessToken.html: "Gets the OAuth 2.0 Access Token to consume the SharePoint APIs and perform CSOM operations."

After getting the token I get the same error for this command: Get-PnPWeb

I'm using PnP 2.2.0 and PowerShell 7.3.5.

Connect-PnPOnline https://tenantname.sharepoint.com -Interactive
$AccessToken = Get-PnPAccessToken -ResourceTypeName SharePoint
Disconnect-PnPOnline

Loop over certain sites to change something, for example.
Connect-PnPOnline -url https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/testsite -AccessToken $AccessToken
$Web = Get-PnPWeb >" The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."

With the same user I'm able to connect to the same site using this, so the user has access and the correct permissions:
Connect-PnPOnline -url $site.url -Interactive
$Web = Get-PnPWeb
