About powershell scripts (Sharepoint)

Question

I have run following command for user to grant permission

#Parameters

$SiteURL = "https://sara56.sharepoint.com/"

$UserAccount = "******@Sara56.onmicrosoft.com"

$PermissionLevel = "Members"

#Connect to PnP Online

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://sara56.sharepoint.com/ -Interactive

#grant access to sharepoint online site with powershell

Set-PnPWebPermission -User $UserAccount -AddRole $PermissionLevel

But when ever I run this command following error has been occured

Error: Exception calling "ExecuteQuery" with "0" arguments: "Permission level not found."

I tried with Edit,Owner,Contribute permission but no luck still the same error will occur

Can anyone please tell me what am i missing

Did i mistake the permission level?

Hi @jennyKim

Thank you for posting in the community.

I checked your PowerShell scripts and found no problems.

Here are the PowerShell scripts I tested:

#Parameters
$SiteURL = "SiteURL"
$UserAccount = "******@XXXXX.onmicrosoft.com"
$PermissionLevel = "Contribute"
 
#Connect to PnP Online
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL 
 
#grant access to sharepoint online site with powershell
Set-PnPWebPermission -User $UserAccount -AddRole $PermissionLevel

Here is the result of my test:

Since we can't reproduce your situation, we need to narrow down the problem and try some things.

1, Please go to Site Settings->site permissions ->permissions levels. Make sure the permission level in your command exists in your site.

2, If the problem persists, try a different computer. Check if the problem still exists.
