Adding a Group as a member of a Group using Azure Graph API

Question

I'm using Azure Graph API with Azure AD B2C and I'm trying to add a Group as a member of a Group

I have successfully preformed a range of other calls against Azure Graph API including adding a User as a Member of a Group.

This is the call I'm making URL:

POST https://graph.windows.net/{tenant}/groups/{groupId}/$links/members?api-version=1.6

Body:

{
    "url": "https://graph.windows.net/{tenant}/directoryObjects/{groupToAdd}"
}

I get the following error:

{
    "odata.error": {
        "code": "Request_BadRequest",
        "message": {
            "lang": "en",
            "value": "An invalid operation was included in the following modified references: 'members'."
        },
        "requestId": "2545d9bf-68c9-44bf-a9ba-1a2976e0c055",
        "date": "2019-09-11T03:11:37"
    }
}

The exact same call worked when using a User's ObjectId but using a Groups throws the error.

Maybe related, the "Group Memberships" is missing in Azure when viewing a Group

Update: When I first posted this question I was missing an important piece of information. This is Graph API calls against Azure Active Directory B2C

You cannot have nested Groups within Azure Active Directory B2C Instances

See: AAD B2C Limitations and restrictions

Nested group memberships aren't supported in Azure AD B2C tenants. There are no plans to add this capability.
