Add Account to a Group

To add account to a group, using the PBAC membership policy, we need to follow the below steps

1. Add a PBAC attribute to an account - PBAC field type or an attribute is a connector used to connect an EmpowerID actor like an account to a PBAC membership policy target such as a group.

2. Create a PBAC membership policy for a group - It is required to create a PBAC membership policy so that we can use it for a target type( e.g., a Group).

3. Add the same PBAC attribute to the policy - PBAC field type or attribute should be added to a PBAC membership policy, for connecting it to an EmpowerID actor.

4. Wait for policy compilation and verify the result - Once the policy is compiled the the person corresponding to the account will be added to the group.
