You can use the "Add-PnPUserToGroup" PnP Powershell cmdlet to handle this.

Hi Drew Madelung,
I did try this before and it added my user to the Owner group, but it still says ''access denied'' when I try to apply the provisioning template.
Perhaps it could be that the access token has not been refreshed/renewed?- So you are trying to add an account to the owners group which works with the powershell above then you are trying to use that same account to apply a provisioning template to a site?
Drew Madelung That's correct. I have been digging a little bit more and I believe the problem is related to the template itself. I think the site has not been completely created just yet when I am applying the template.
I have the following nodes:<pnp:Files> <pnp:File src="..\SiteAssets\Test.txt" Folder="SiteAssets" /> <pnp:File src="..\SiteAssets\logo.png" Folder="SiteAssets" /> </pnp:Files>And see this in the detailed logs: "Creating folder 'SiteAssets' under Web '/sites/MyModernSite19/'"
