We have an existing Microsoft 365 group, like [email protected].

We have over 100 SharePoint Online sites and we want to add this group as a editor into 30 of these sites.

We want to do this through powershell so we want to script codes.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

    You can use the PnP module and the Set-PnPWebPermission cmdlet for that: https://pnp.github.io/powershell/cmdlets/Set-PnPWebPermission.html
