ScubaGear Parameters

December 18, 2024 · View on GitHub

The Invoke-SCuBA cmdlet has several command-line parameters, which are described below.

Note: Some parameters can also be specified in a configuration file. If specified in both, command-line parameters have precedence over the config file.

Note: Parameters use the Pascal case convention, and their names are consistent with those in the configuration file.

AppID

AppID is the application ID of the service principal that is used during non-interactive mode authentication.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	String
Default	n/a
Config File	Yes

Here is an example using -AppID:

# Authenticate with a service principal
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -CertificateThumbprint fedcba9876543210fedcba9876543210fedcba98 `
  -AppID abcdef0123456789abcde01234566789 `
  -Organization contoso.onmicrosoft.com

Note: AppID, CertificateThumbprint, and Organization are part of a parameter set used for authentication; if one is specified, all three must be specified.

CertificateThumbprint is the thumbprint of the certificate that is used for non-interactive mode authentication. The underlying PowerShell modules retrieve the certificate from the user's certificate store.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	String
Default	n/a
Config File	Yes

Here is an example using -CertificateThumbprint:

# Authenticate with a service principal
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -CertificateThumbprint fedcba9876543210fedcba9876543210fedcba98 `
  -AppID abcdef0123456789abcde01234566789 `
  -Organization contoso.onmicrosoft.com

Note: AppID, CertificateThumbprint, and Organization are part of a parameter set used for authentication; if one is specified, all three must be specified.

ConfigFilePath

ConfigFilePath is the path of a configuration file that ScubaGear parses for input parameters.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	String
Default	Directory where ScubaGear is executed
Config File	No

Here's an example using -ConfigFilePath:

# Set the inputs using a configuration file
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -ConfigFilePath C:\users\johndoe\Documents\scuba\config.json

If -ConfigFilePath is specified, default values will be used for any parameters that are not added to the config file. These default values are shown in the full config file.

More information about the configuration file can be found on the configuration page.

Note: Path can be absolute or relative.

DarkMode

DarkMode enables the HTML report to have a dark mode look.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	Switch
Default	n/a
Config File	No

# View the HTML report in dark mode
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -DarkMode

DisconnectOnExit

DisconnectOnExit deletes the authentication tokens from your local machine that were used to connect to the Microsoft APIs; this will for you to re-authenticate the next time you run ScubaGear. The name of this parameter is a misnomer.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	Switch
Default	n/a
Config File	Yes

# Delete the auth tokens
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -DisconnectOnExit

KeepIndividualJSON

KeepIndividualJSON Keeps the individual JSON files (e.g., TeamsReport.json) in the IndividualReports folder along with ProviderSettingsExport.json without combining the results in to one uber JSON file named the ScubaResults.json. The parameter is for backwards compatibility with older versions of ScubaGear.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	Switch
Default	n/a
Config File	No

# Outputs legacy ScubaGear individual JSON output
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -KeepIndividualJSON

LogIn enforces or bypasses authentication. If $true, ScubaGear will prompt the user to provide credentials to establish a connection to the specified M365 products in the ProductNames variable. If $false, it will use the previously issued authentication token, if it has not expired.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	Boolean
Default	`$true`
Config File	Yes

This variable should typically be $true, as a connection is established in the current PowerShell terminal session with the first authentication. If another verification is run in the same PowerShell session, then this variable can be set to false to bypass a second authenticate.

# Reuse previous authentication
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -LogIn $false

Note: Defender will ask for authentication even if this variable is set to false.

M365Environment

M365Environment is used to authenticate to the various M365 commercial/government environments.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	String
Default	`commercial`
Config File	Yes

Note: This parameter is required if authenticating to Power Platform. It is also required if executing the tool against GCC High or DoD tenants.

# Assess a government commercial account
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames teams `
  -M365Environment gcc

The list of acceptable values are:

Tenant	Value
Non-government tenants	commercial
Government cloud tenants	gcc
Government cloud tenants (high)	gcchigh
Department of Defense tenants	dod

NumberOfUUIDCharactersToTruncate

NumberOfUUIDCharactersToTruncate controls how many characters will be truncated from the report UUID when appended to the end of OutJsonFileName.

Parameter	Value
Optional	Yes
Datatype	Integer
Default	18
Config File	Yes

The list of acceptable values are:

Description	Value

Remove one octet of the appended UUID	13
Remove two octets of the appended UUID	18
Remove the appended UUID completely	36

# Truncate the UUID at the end of OutJsonFileName by 18 characters
Invoke-SCuBA -ProductNames exo `
  -NumberOfUUIDCharactersToTruncate 18

$env:SCUBAGEAR_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK = $true
