A PowerShell command executes a specific action. Administrators can run PowerShell commands and group commands together in PowerShell scripts to automate administrative tasks for commonly implemented processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A PowerShell module is a set of related PowerShell commands that are grouped together. PowerShell modules are hosted by Microsoft and available for installation from\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.powershellgallery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PowerShell Gallery<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.powershellgallery.com\/packages\/JumpCloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JumpCloud PowerShell Module<\/a>\u00a0is a set of PowerShell commands that allow JumpCloud administrators to interact with their JumpCloud directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The JumpCloud PowerShell module is at its core a wrapper for the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.jumpcloud.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JumpCloud API<\/a>&nbsp;and communicates with the JumpCloud API using the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/powershell\/module\/microsoft.powershell.utility\/invoke-restmethod?view=powershell-5.1\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Invoke-RestMethod<\/a>&nbsp;PowerShell command over HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common administrative tasks that can be automated or scripted using the JumpCloud PowerShell module include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Importing JumpCloud users from a .csv file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exporting JumpCloud user and system information to a .csv file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating and removing JumpCloud users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resetting&nbsp;JumpCloud users password<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlocking or locking a JumpCloud user account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disabling and enabling JumpCloud user accounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding or removing members from JumpCloud Groups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Triggering JumpCloud Commands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reading the output of JumpCloud Commands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bulk actions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common PowerShell Misconceptions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>PowerShell only works on Windows<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>PowerShell comes preinstalled on Windows, but can easily be installed on both Mac and Linux.
