Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/KelvinTegelaar/CIPP/issues/1959

Description of the new feature - must be an in-depth explanation of the feature you want, reasoning why, and the added benefits for MSPs as a whole.

Management of Tenant Contacts under [IDENTITY MANAGEMENT > Administration > Contacts] -- or some such location.

Many clients use Tenant Contacts, along with Distribution Lists to communicate with internal users and external partners. The [IDENTITY MANAGEMENT > Administration > Groups > edit] page allows adding an existing contact to the group, but nowhere in CIPP is there a way to create or edit existing contacts.

Having the ability to add and edit these contacts will further reduce the need to log into the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Thanks!

PowerShell commands you would normally use to achieve above request

To add a new contact.

New-MailContact -Name "Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight)" -ExternalEmailAddress "master_yoda_taught_me@theforce.com" -DisplayName "Luke Skywalker" -FirstName "Luke" -LastName "Skywalker"

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-mailcontact?view=exchange-ps

To update existing contact.

Set-MailContact -Identity "Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight)" -ExternalEmailAddress "who_is_my_daddy@theforce.com"

I'm not qualified to work on it I suspect... I've never done anything but stand-alone PowerShell. (Where could I learn how to incorporate into a project like this? Is it a "If you have to ask, you can't hope to help" thing?)

Thanks!

If you write the PowerShell thats needed it already covers a lot of the requirements. If you really want to help all the way our dev guide is here: https://docs.cipp.app/dev-documentation/cipp-dev-guide.

Moving this to planned.

Fyi you can only delete and create new, the edit button on the page does nothing
