Unable to add channel owners to private channels via PowerShell
Using https://www.poshtestgallery.com/packages/MicrosoftTeams/1.0.21 when I try and use the following command Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $groupid -DisplayName $displayname -User $username -Role Owner
I get the following error message
add-TeamChannelUser : Error occurred while executing
Code: BadGateway
Message: Failed to execute backend request.
InnerError:

However if I use the GUI I can add owners to a private channel. This means that I cannot script adding channel owners but rather must add each owner the slow way through the GUI.
This has already been reported here https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-SkypeForBusiness/issues/3753 but that ticket was closed.

Same here, I am getting very annoying with Microsoft these days, so I start thinking if we should stay with Microsoft or not, maybe time to move

Same issue for me also. The following command doesn't work.
Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId d9910945-c184-4098-b9d8-84a1d39301ee -DisplayName "Book Talk - 1" -User ***@xxxx.lk -Role Owner

I am unable to promote a user to an owner of a private channel.
Using MicrosoftTeams preview module 2.4.1this line works:
Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $grpid -DisplayName $theChannel -User $theEmailbut then this line, which promotes same user to an owner, doesn't work:
Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $grpid -DisplayName $theChannel -User $theEmail -Role OwnerBug is easy to recreate. Also reverted to previous prereleases, same issue.
Please fix the bug -

Seeing the same bad request when trying to add private channel member user promotion to -role owner. My problem is that I have some private channels with NO owners. Adding channel members works fine, but trying to promote those members to owners = no joy.

I am seeing the exact same settings as Chris Adams described. I've had an automation up and running since early 2019 and this seems to have been a recent issue where the role setting is failing to execute.

Trying to promote a user that is already a member of the private channel to be an owner. Following instructions exactly as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/teams/add-teamchanneluser?view=teams-ps.
Getting the error Add-TeamChannelUser : Failed to find the user on the channel roster. Add-TeamChannelUser
Using MicrosoftTeams preview module 2.4.1 released 16/7/2021
Guessing there is an issue with the Add-TeamChannelUser cmdlet that needs fixing

Similar issue here, but if I set -Role it tells me I gave it an Invalid OData type: "Microsoft.Teams.Core.aadUserConversationMember"
It fails even after adding the user to the channel (which does work). The user shows up in Teams Admin, but not in Teams, and cannot add them as member. There's a chance if I wait an hour it will show up in Teams, and possibly the Owner flag will work, but for all practical purposes this isn't working.
I'm on the MicrosoftTeams PowerShell Module Public Preview 1.1.10
I just created about 70 private channels across 3 teams for staff budget folders/discussions, and I think I'll just manually add all of the users to the appropriate Teams/Budget Folders, but man it would have been handy to script it!
Also, I recognize Add-TeamChannelUser is in beta, and it looks like this is why.

@Peter
Same error here in my Org with 2.2.0-preview
Adding users to private channels works but not with the role "Owner". Also removing the owner role does not work.
And although users have immediately access to the private channel, they do not appear as members in teams. Maybe again those magic Microsoft minutes or hours. -

I can add user as a member, but then I can't set it as owner.
Works:
Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $groupid -DisplayName $displayname -User $username
Failes:
Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $groupid -DisplayName $displayname -User $username -Role Ownererror: Add-TeamChannelUser : Failed to find the user on the channel roster. Add-TeamChannelUser
but Get-TeamChannelUser clearly lists the user.
Module version: 2.2.0-preview
PS5.1
Teams version: 1.4.00.10372 (64-bit) -

Maybe it's too late but the solution to this problem is to first add the user as a member and the upgrade role to owner (as indicated in the doc)
"To turn an existing Member into an Owner, first Add-TeamChannelUser -User foo to add them to the members list, then Add-TeamChannelUser -User foo -Role Owner to add them to owner list."
So you have to execute :
Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $groupid -DisplayName $displayname -User $username
and the upgrade to owner :
Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $groupid -DisplayName $displayname -User $username -Role Owner

Same issue in MicrosoftTeams Beta 1.0.25. Only members can be added.

I am experiencing the same issue. As per the suggestion in the GitHub ticket, I raised a support ticket with Microsoft Support. They ended up telling me it's not possible to add Owners to a memberless Private Channel, and directed me here to UserVoice.
