Create function key for azure function from powershell

Question

Is it possible at all to create a function key for a just created azure function from powershell script? I have got a release pipeline to create the whole environment for azure

Currently, there is no such Power Shell cmdlet, but you could use Function Api.

Creates or updates the key at the specified resource with an auto generated key:

POST /admin/functions/{functionname}/keys/{keyname}

Use the following Power Shell to use API.

$tenant = ""
$clientId = ""
$clientSecret = ""
$subscriptionId = ""

$body = @{
    "grant_type"="client_credentials";
    "client_id"=$clientId;
    "client_secret"=$clientSecret;
    "resource"="https://management.azure.com/"
}
$resourceGroup="shuiapp"
$name="shuifunction"

$authInfo = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$tenant/oauth2/token" -Body $body -Method Post -Headers @{"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"} 

$publishData = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$subscriptionId/resourceGroups/$resourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/$name/publishxml?api-version=2016-08-01" -Method Post -Headers @{"Authorization"="Bearer $($authInfo.access_token)"}

$userName = $publishData.publishData.publishProfile[0].userName
$password = $publishData.publishData.publishProfile[0].userPWD

$apiBaseUrl = "https://$name.scm.azurewebsites.net/api"
$siteBaseUrl = "https://$name.azurewebsites.net"

# For authenticating to Kudu
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))    

# Call Kudu /api/functions/admin/token to get a JWT that can be used with the Functions Key API 
$jwt = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$apiBaseUrl/functions/admin/token" -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Method GET

# Call Functions Key API to get the master key 
$x = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$siteBaseUrl/admin/host/systemkeys/_master" -Headers @{Authorization=("Bearer {0}" -f $jwt)} -Method GET

$masterKey = $x.value

# create a custom function key
$functionname="HttpTriggerPowerShell1"
$v=Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$siteBaseUrl/admin/functions/$functionname/keys/shui" -Headers @{Authorization=("Bearer {0}" -f $jwt)} -Method POST
$v.value 

# get function key value
$x = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$siteBaseUrl/admin/functions/HttpTriggerPowerShell1/keys" -Headers @{Authorization=("Bearer {0}" -f $jwt)} -Method GET

Note: You need create a new service principal and give contributor role. Please refer to the official document.
