Permission denied adding a member to a group in Google Cloud Console

I'm new to GCP. I setup my organisation yesterday which involved creating a new Google Identity (or perhaps turning it on, or both, it's not clear whether it's an entity or a service) and linking it to my app's domain.

There was also a step-by-step wizard to get started with some things, including making a bunch of groups and assigning them roles.

I'm trying to add my personal Google account as a member of one of the groups. I have added my other self as a "principal" in IAM.

But when I try to add that principal as a member, I get this error.

Failed to add members The following members failed to be added to the group [email protected]

I've left it 24h, which has worked for another odd problem I had, but not this. What's really worrying me is that I have no other account. I'm using the new account I was coerced into setting up, so I would rather hope it was God-like.

Thanks.

For posterity:

When created, (Google) Groups default to internal members only, i.e. those users with accounts on the domain used by Group. This is a good "secure by default" practice as it prohibits inadvertently adding non-organization members to Groups.

However, admins who wish to permit external (e.g. @gmail.com) users can "allow external members" using Google Admin.
