I know that can be acheived by:

New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue()

But I want an alternative for that in CSOM powershell. Please assist.

In SharePoint CSOM, use Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldUserValue class instead like this:

$owner = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldUserValue($item["Owner"]).LookupValue

I'm using this for Author and Editor columns in a list.

function GetUserDisplayName($UserValue) { $user = $web.SiteUsers.GetById($UserValue.Split(";#")[0]); return $user.DisplayName }
