Entity Category

Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations

Step 1 : Run commands from the CRUD group

You can UPDATE objects by using Add-EntityDefaultKeyProvider cmdlet. See example below: 
# Adds the first key provider to entity "MyCluster" as default key provider.
$cluster  = Get-Cluster -name "MyCluster"
Add-EntityDefaultKeyProvider -KeyProvider (Get-KeyProvider)[0] -Entity $cluster
You can REMOVE objects by using Remove-EntityDefaultKeyProvider cmdlet. See example below: 
# Removes the default key provider from the "MyCluster" entity.
$cluster = Get-Cluster -Name "MyCluster"
Remove-EntityDefaultKeyProvider -Entity $cluster
