    Validate Your SharePoint Online Crawl Account Permissions Using PowerShell

    Authenticate to SharePoint Online

    Authenticate to SharePoint Online as the service account user.

    Get the FedAuth and rtFa cookie values

    Open up your Debugging Tools (such as DevTools from Chrome) and copy the FedAuth and rtFa cookies from session.

    Add your information to the PowerShell script

    Enter your site and these two cookies into this PowerShell script:

    # change these 3 variables to match your environment
    $sharepointUrl = "https://YourSharePointURL.com"
    
    $fedAuthCookieValue = "EnterYourFedAuthCookieValueHere"
    
    $rtFaValue = "EnterYourRtfaCookieValueHere"
    
    $headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
    $headers.Add("Content-Type", "text/xml")
    $headers.Add("SOAPAction", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetUpdatedFormDigestInformation")
    $headers.Add("X-RequestForceAuthentication", "true")
    $headers.Add("Cookie", "FedAuth=$fedAuthCookieValue;rtFa=$rtFaValue")
    
    $body = "<?xml version=`"1.0`" encoding=`"utf-8`"?>`n<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=`"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance`" xmlns:xsd=`"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema`" xmlns:soap=`"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/`">`n  <soap:Body>`n    <GetUpdatedFormDigestInformation xmlns=`"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/`" />`n  </soap:Body>`n</soap:Envelope>"
    
    $response = Invoke-RestMethod "$sharepointUrl/_vti_bin/sites.asmx" -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body
    Write-Host "$response"

    The response will resemble:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

            </GetUpdatedFormDigestInformationResponse>
        </soap:Body>
    </soap:Envelope>

    Add your URL and DigestValue

    Copy the DigestValue from this response into the PowerShell script below. Also change the SharePoint URL to match your environment.

    # change these 2 variables to match your environment
    $sharepointUrl = "https://YourSharePointURL.com"
    $digestValue = "YourDigestValueWithTimestamp"
    
    $headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"

    $response = Invoke-RestMethod "$sharepointUrl/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery" -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body
    Write-Host "$response"
