Updating group member roles through Python API

Question

Is there a way to add a user to a group as a group admin using the "add_users" function in the python API? I saw there is a way to do this with the role parameter in the "invite_users" function but not sure why there isn't the same parameter for "add_users." Would rather just invite the user instead of requiring them to accept an invitation...

Also tried looking for a way to update group member roles through the python API and can't seem to find anything to elevate a group member from user to admin. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

So is it possible to update an existing group member from 'users' to 'admins'?
Or do I have to remove the user from the group and add the user as admin?

It is working now for me in ArcGIS Online, but not in Pro. My Pro version is a bit older, so an older version of the API, maybe that's the problem. However, I have another issue (create a new user) that is not working in ArcGIS Online, but is working in Pro, so yeah, what should I use now...

I found there is an error in the documentation and the keyword needs to be passed in as "admins" not "admin".
