Ok I am trying to apply a Provisioning template to a site and I keep getting the error

"Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate : Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Ive been following this tutorial on microsoft.

Once I get to the Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path i get the error above. Any ideas?

Note: Running the latest version of SharePointPnPPowerShellOnlien 3.24.2008.1

The template is trying to find federateddirectoryclaimprovider user for applying permissions to it, but is not able to find this user in Site. To avoid this you can execute the Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate command with -ExcludeHandlers SiteSecurity switch by doing so it will not apply permissions to users aganist any SharePoint groups being created.
