I don't think this is going to work.

Only someone with Security Admin role can give another user Security Admin Role.

Hello Debasis,

 

No script needed.

Even if you have the security_admin role, you need to elevate your role first to give others the role / add others to that group.

First elevate your role and then give it.

 

Mark as correct and helpful if it solved your query.

I won't recommend using script for giving security_admin role to some group/user.

Let the security_admin role user do this task.
