How to add Azure AD group or M365 group to SharePoint group?

[sachinsatav]

Hi,
I am trying to add an existing Azure AD group & M365 group to SharePoint group but I am struggling to find anything that explains how I can do that.

var siteGroup = await newSiteContext.Web.SiteGroups.FirstOrDefaultAsync(g => g.LoginName == "some group");
await siteGroup.AddUserAsync("[email protected]");

Using above I can add users to the group however not sure how can I add AD group or M365 group.

I have tried -

await siteGroup.AddUserAsync("[email protected]"); //m365 group
await siteGroup.AddUserAsync("GROUP_NAME"); //Azure AD group

but it did not work.

If anyone can help me with it, that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@sachinsatav : adding Azure AD security groups or members of the Microsoft 365 groups is possible, currently you'll need to correctly format the loginName. Below samples should help, the GUIDs are the object ids of the respective Azure AD objects.

// Add an Azure AD security group
await addedGroup.AddUserAsync("c:0t.c|tenant|c8e69a24-a625-48d7-b80b-c9656b9d4030");

// Add an Microsoft 365 group (members)
await addedGroup.AddUserAsync("c:0o.c|federateddirectoryclaimprovider|45dfc99d-a4a5-419d-ad79-013eed517fb2");

I'll add this information to our documentation, thanks for raising this.
