get-pnpweb example with connection parameter

Question

Does anyone have an example of Get-pnpweb with connection parameter please? I'm trying to get to a different web in my script and I believe the only way to achieve this is using this parameter, but I can't seem to find an example.

Thanks Ova

Answer 1

Connection needs to be returned from PnP command when you connect to a site/web you can implement this as below.

#Web 1 already connected
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/web1"  -Credentials $creds -ReturnConnection

#Connecting Web2 with connection
$connection = Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/web2"  -Credentials $creds -ReturnConnection

#get Web2 using connection
$webs = Get-PnPWeb -Connection $connection

Answer 2

While I think this works, you might want to look into Set-PnPContext that I've added later in my answer.

$connectionA = Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://siteA.com -CurrentCredentials -ReturnConnection

$connectionB = Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://siteB.com -CurrentCredentials -ReturnConnection

Get-PnPWeb -Connection $connectionA
Get-PnPWeb -Connection $connectionB

Set-PnPContext

Description

Sets the Client Context to use by the cmdlets, which allows easy context switching. See examples for details.

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteAurl -Credentials $credentials
$ctx = Get-PnPContext
Get-PnPList # returns the lists from site specified with $siteAurl
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteBurl -Credentials $credentials
Get-PnPList # returns the lists from the site specified with $siteBurl
Set-PnPContext -Context $ctx # switch back to site A
Get-PnPList # returns the lists from site A
