The new Az.DesktopVirtualization PowerShell module includes a lot of commands but does not seem to include a direct replacement for the Add-RdsAppGroupUser which is what he asks for.
This is because assignment of users to Application groups in Spring 2020 is done via Azure Role Definitions.
Microsoft example of this is as below:

I believe that this example of adding a user to the Desktop Application group.
I will try this myself to test.

I had exactly the same issue as I want to automate adding users via PowerShell. It took me a while to find that but does what I need 🙂
