Research direction

The request names a native API for adding BuiltIn users to Explicit Groups but identifies no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing user and group API behavior, then define the endpoint and expected behavior before implementing it. Done means the API supports this onboarding operation and has coverage for the new behavior.
