[Question] Add-PnPGroupMember not working in Azure Function

[kbeeveer46]

I'm upgrading our scripts from SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline to PnP.PowerShell and I'm trying to upgrade the following code that adds an Office 365 group to a SharePoint group

Add-PnPUserToGroup -LoginName "GroupName@xxx.onmicrosoft.com" -Identity "Site Title Visitors"

I tried several different variations of the new way of doing it and I'm getting a "user not found" error for each one. The Azure Function is using runtime 4.21.1.20667, PowerShell 7.2, and PnP.PowerShell 2.1.1 (I tried the latest nightly, too). I'm using a managed identity and the principal has full control of sites.

Does this cmdlet only work for users and not groups? Is there a group one that I overlooked?

Add-PnPGroupMember -LoginName GroupName@xxx.onmicrosoft.com -Group 'Site Title Visitors'

Add-PnPGroupMember -LoginName 'Group Name' -Group 'Site Title Visitors'

Add-PnPGroupMember -EmailAddress GroupName@xxx.onmicrosoft.com -Group 'Site Title Visitors'

I was expecting it to add the Office 365 group to the visitor group on the SharePoint site.

I figured out how to do it using this code. Is there a cleaner way? What if I don't know the object id at runtime?

Add-PnPGroupMember -LoginName "c:0o.c|federateddirectoryclaimprovider|group-object-id" -Group "Site Title Visitors"
