To add a user or group, the "principal_type" of "user" or "group" is required as an input. Examples:

Add user:

client.content.get(content_guid).permissions.create(
    principal_guid=user_guid,
    principal_type="user",
    role=access_type,
    )

Add a group:

client.content.get(content_guid).permissions.create(
    principal_guid=group_guid,
    principal_type="group",
    role=access_type,
    )

A common use case may be to have a list of users and groups to add to content, however, the current implementation requires that list to be segregated by users and groups. A cleaner implementation would allow .permissions.create to take either a user or a group guid and then sort out internally what type of principal it is.

See posit-dev/connect-cookbook#65 for how this requires two different recipes to do more or less the same thing.
