Question

So which action we need to use:

OR

EDIT

• This is the mail enabled security group::

• This is the security group:

Answer 1

"Add member to groups" action will only work for Office 365 Group (which are mail enabled)

"Add user to Group" action will work for both the cases i.e. Office 365 Group (Mail enabled) or Normal security Group

So in your case if you have both the scenario then you should use action "Add User to group".

Make sure that "Add user to group" action will except only "GroupId" and "UserId" as input so you will need user additional actions to grab those details based on group name and user principal name.

Answer 2

For security groups:

You can use "Add user to Group" action from "Azure AD" connector in Power Automate.

For mail-enabled security groups:

Mail-enabled security groups are owned by Exchange Online. As per my test you cannot add users to these group using Azure AD - "Add user to Group" action or Office 365 groups - "Add member to group" action.
