[Feature Request] Add an Official Way to Bypass Confirmation in Get-Confirmation

[Mohammed-Eltaweel]

Description

While automating One Identity Safeguard deployments using the safeguard-ps PowerShell module, I encountered an issue where confirmation prompts prevent unattended execution when trying to set the time of the safegaurd using Set-SafeguardTime

The confirmation logic is implemented in Modules/ps-utilities.psm1 within the Get-Confirmation function.

The function always prompts the user for input by calling:
$host.UI.PromptForChoice(...)

This makes it impossible to run deployment scripts non-interactively.

Current Workaround

To allow unattended execution, I currently patch ps-utilities.psm1 after installing the module by adding the following check inside Get-Confirmation before the confirmation prompt is displayed:
if ($env:SAFEGUARD_NO_CONFIRM -eq "1") { return $true }

Then, before executing my deployment scripts, I simply set:
$env:SAFEGUARD_NO_CONFIRM = "1"

This allows the scripts to complete without user interaction.

Why This Is a Problem

Although the workaround functions correctly, it requires modifying the module's source code.

As a result:

• Every module update overwrites the modification.
• Deployment automation must patch the module before execution.
• Maintaining a custom version of the module is undesirable.

Suggested Enhancement

It would be helpful if the module provided an official mechanism to bypass confirmation prompts, for example:

• Support for an environment variable (such as SAFEGUARD_NO_CONFIRM).
• A module-wide non-interactive mode.
• Support for -Confirm:$false or -Force where appropriate.
• Any other officially supported mechanism that avoids modifying the module.

This would preserve the current behavior for interactive users while enabling unattended deployment scenarios.

Environment

Safeguard PowerShell Module: safeguard-ps
Use case: Automated One Identity Safeguard deployment and configuration using PowerShell
Issue location: Modules/ps-utilities.psm1 (Get-Confirmation function)
