       # To retrieve each subsite and its property of a sitecollection we need to connect to site. using 
“Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteCollection.Url -Credentials $cred” will ask to enter credentials each time. So here we will use alternative 
-UseWebLogin

      Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteCollection.Url -UseWebLogin 

      #To get all subsites
      $subsites = Get-PnPSubWebs;
