How to get the GraphUserPrincipalNameCreationContext for an AAD user?

I need to create a new user in azure devops using the python client library for Azure DevOps REST API.

I wrote the following code:

from azure.devops.connection import Connection
from azure.devops.v5_0.graph.models import GraphUserCreationContext
from msrest.authentication import BasicAuthentication

credentials = BasicAuthentication('', personal_access_token)
connection = Connection(base_url=organization_url, creds=credentials)

graph_client = connection.clients_v5_0.get_graph_client()

addAADUserContext = GraphUserCreationContext("[email protected]")
print(addAADUserContext)

resp = graph_client.create_user(addAADUserContext)
print(resp)

I get the output:

{'additional_properties': {}, 'storage_key': '[email protected]'}

And an error occurs while calling the create_user method:

azure.devops.exceptions.AzureDevOpsServiceError: VS860015: Must have exactly one of originId or principalName set.

Actually what i should pass a GraphUserPrincipalNameCreationContext to the create_user function.

I found a .NET sample which does this in a function named AddRemoveAADUserByUPN() : https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-dotnet-samples/blob/master/ClientLibrary/Samples/Graph/UsersSample.cs

GraphUserPrincipalNameCreationContext is an interface in this sample. But python doesn't support interfaces.

So how can implement this in python?

Some of the classes like GraphUserPrincipalNameCreationContext aren't currently available in the python client API. They are working on it. You can track the issue here in GitHub repo: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/issues/176

You can use User Entitlements - Add REST API for azure devops instead of it's Graph API. You can use the following python client for this purpose:

https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/tree/dev/azure-devops/azure/devops/v5_0/member_entitlement_management

You can refer to the sample given in the following question to know about how to use the mentioned python client :

Unable to deserialize to object: type, KeyError: ' key: int; value: str '
