Permission issue with Invoke-PnPQuery

Question

I am trying to run the code below to update the "noCrawl" property but I am facing an issue with Invoke-PnPQuery:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $url -Credentials $cred
$Web = Get-PnPWeb
$Web.NoCrawl = $true
$Web.Update()
Invoke-PnPQuery

I get the following error

Invoke-PnPQuery : Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource. Au caractère Ligne:2 : 13 Invoke-PnPQuery CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Invoke-PnPQuery], ServerUnauthorizedAccessException FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerUnauthorizedAccessException,PnP.PowerShell.Commands.Base.InvokeQuery

Seems like a permissions issue, but i'm struggling with it.

Can someone help please?

Answer 1

I finally figure it out.

To perform an action like to upadate "nocrawl" property, you need to have another property of the web "-DenyAndAddCustomizePages" switched to false:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $adminURL -Credentials $cred
Set-PnPSite -Identity $url -DenyAndAddCustomizePages $false

Then the code can be executed without any problem
