We are getting the below error when we run below Powershell PNP command to groupify a site.

Add-PnPOffice365GroupToSite : Microsoft.Office.Server.Directory.RequestFailure
At C:\Temp\05hh115r.yqq\O365_Groupify_Implement.ps1:316 char:13

  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : EXCEPTION,SharePointPnP.PowerShell.Commands.Admin.AddOffice365GroupToSite

Seems the parameters are valid and this was triggered by using Azure Runbooks

    Certain operations can't be app-only and require user interaction for auditing purposes, and group creation is one of them.

    This looks like potentially the same issue: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/3799

    In this case the scenario you described is unsupported and you would need to make a feature request to change this. https://feedback.azure.com/

    You could provide the screenshot of PowerShell you run for further troubleshooting.

    Make sure the site collection in the PowerShell a classic team site and the PnP is latest version.

    Reference:

    SharePoint pnp cmdlets
