Description
Describe the bug
When trying to create a new authentication context I get an error
New-MgIdentityConditionalAccessAuthenticationContextClassReference_CreateExpanded: Specified method is not allowed. Try GET, PATCH, DELETE
I tried to create it directly and using the BodyParameter.
New-MgIdentityConditionalAccessAuthenticationContextClassReference -DisplayName 'test context' -Id 'c2' -IsAvailable
and using the example in the MS docs link below.
This is an article for the beta module, the prod one doesn't have an example for whatever reason.
Expected behavior
Expected behavior is that the authentication context object gets created with the object id, name displayed.
How to reproduce
Run either of those:
New-MgIdentityConditionalAccessAuthenticationContextClassReference -DisplayName 'test authentication context' -Id 'c2' -IsAvailable
$AuthenticationContextBody = @{
id = 'c2'
displayName = 'test authentication context'
isAvailable = $true
}
New-MgBetaIdentityConditionalAccessAuthenticationContextClassReference -BodyParameter $AuthenticationContextBody

Research direction
Start by reproducing the 405 response with New-MgIdentityConditionalAccessAuthenticationContextClassReference and the BodyParameter example from the linked Microsoft Graph documentation. Compare the production and beta cmdlets and their documented HTTP operations. Done means the supported create flow successfully creates an authentication context with the supplied id, display name, and availability settings.
