I have found answer to my query, Please check this URL

"A bit late but maybe can be useful to other people with the same problem. For me the issue was to specify --type on command. If this is mandatory it should be mentioned on help page

occ circles:members:add --type=user $_circleId $_username

To promote a user you need their member id. You can get it from occ and pipe to into jq to get the specific memberid.

_memberId=$(occ circles:members:list --output=json ${_circleId} | jq ".[] | select(.userId==\"${_username}\")" | jq ' .id')

…and then…

occ circles:members:level ${_memberId} admin

(use admin or owner or whatever you want to set)"
