Managed to figure it out, but I used a completely different method:

```js
addUserToGroup(userId, groupId){
    let url = `${this.url}admin/users/${userId}/groups`;
    let options = {
      params: {
        group_id: groupId
      },
      query: this.defaultQuery
    }
    return httpPromise('POST', url, options);
}

```

Uses post and uses a different url related to the user. Is there a difference to doing it one way or the other? I just couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong with the other way.

Feel like someone should be keeping the API docs up to date. Shouldn’t have to go around fishing for what API calls work and what not!
