Add User to Group - Forbidden

Hi All,
 
I'm a newbie to automate but i'm having a good go at some value add activity through automation.
One such exercise is to automate user account creation and licence assignment.
 
So far i've been able to get the account created but i'm getting a permissions error on the add to group (a security group which drives the licence allocation).
 
I'm currently using a "Service Account" (albeit just a user at this point as I'm not technical enough for managed identities yet and this is just a POC).
The account has Global Administrator, Groups Administrator and User Administrator roles.
 
The error i receive is:
Action 'Add_user_to_group' failed: Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.



Would appreciate any help to get me over the line!

    See the limitations below from the documentation - do any of these apply to you?

    Known issues and limitations

     

    1. The connector does not return custom attributes of Microsoft Entra ID entities.

    2. The connector does not support Mail-Enabled Security groups.

    3. Microsoft Entra ID group with the attribute "isAssignableToRole" are not supported for now.

    4. If you have deployed Azure Conditional Access (Microsoft Entra ID
      MFA) the connector will not work as expected. To workaround this issue,
      see this solution.
