Can the Azure connectors REALLY add a user to an AD Distribution List?

Hi.

I'm am becoming fairly certain that the Azure connector "Add a user to a group" actually can't.

I am able to manually add a user to a Cloud-only Distribution List, but have never, ever been able to successfully get PA to do it using the same account.

I don't want to add a user to a security group (which rules out 90% of online searches for this topic.)

I don't want to add a user to a 365 Group (which I CAN do.)

I just want to add a user to a Distribution List.

Is it just poorly named, and can't really add a user to such a group? I am able to iterate through the groups; I can get the group's properties; I can find out if the user is IN a particular group; but the connector ALWAYS responds with "Insufficient Privileges to complete the operation" when I try to add a user.

Has anyone ever actually been able to successfully add a user to a DL?  Has anyone been able to use MS Graph to do it? I can't search online any more because I'm literally not getting any hits that aren't about security groups, which, as I said, I am NOT using.

I would be GREATLY appreciative to hear from anyone who has gotten anything like this to ever work.

Thanks.
