PnP Core Component - Add Permission Level To Group in SharePoint 2016

In this blog you will see how to add permission level to group in SharePoint 2016 with CSOM Extension Method using Console Application.

Please refer to the Introduction to PnP Core Component and OfficeDevPnP.Core for more details. I have created a console application and added SharePointPnPCore2016 NuGet package for the SharePoint 2016 version.
