Is there a way to use Add-PnPUserToGroup command to add a AD Security Group into a SharePoint group on SharePoint Online?

I'm writing a script which does some post-some creation tasks and just after a way to do this without writing lines and lines of code. I saw one-liner examples of adding security groups as site collection admins, but haven't found a way to add this to a SP Group.

When I try Add-PnPUserToGroup -LoginName parameter I get an:

Add-PnPUserToGroup : The object is used in the context different from the one associated with the object.

Error so I think I may be doing something daft there!

I would really appreciate help on this.

Thank you

I think you are missing the Connection parameter here you need to pass in the context of site for which you are executing the command which can be obtained by using -ReturnConnection switch

$connection = Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com -Credentials (Get-Credential) -ReturnConnection

Add-PnPUserToGroup -LoginName [email protected] -Connection $connection #variable form above line

That cmdlet is used to add to a SharePoint group. To add to an Azure AD group, use Add-AzureADGroupMember. For Active Directory, use Add-ADGroupMember.
