NB! To add users to a group in Canvas Studio, users must be verified Studio users. A user gets verified by:

By being enrolled in a Canvas course.
By watch embedded Studio media in the course.

Users do not need to be teachers, but students can also be verified in this way. Once a user has viewed embedded Studio media, they can be added to groups and have content shared.
