Unable to add Group as Owner
I'm trying to fix a problem that was caused by someone who replaced the Office Group in the Site Collection Admin group with a service account. I thought that I could do this by reassigning the Office Group to the Owners attribute using pnp as follows, but I get the error shown. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
PS C:\scripts> Set-PnPTenantSite -Url https://premierinc.sharepoint.com/teams/dgtest1 -Owners "dgtest1@premierinc.onmicrosoft.com"
Set-PnPTenantSite : The user does not exist or is not unique.

I had the same issue and struggled quite some time with a solution so thought I'd share.
You can use the full SharePoint id of the login like this:
$adminAccounts = @("myadminuser@abc.com", "c:0t.c|tenant|06f4bb89-36bc-464c-9d42-060da22d4ec4")
Set-PnPTenantSite -Url $sitecollection.Url -Owners $adminAccounts
I found the "user id" by adding the group in UI to some site and then use the get-pnpuser cmdlet to get the login name.
Hope this helps...
Yes, I connected to the tenant-admin.sharepoint.com site
