Run Get-VBRProtectionGroup to get the protection group whose settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $group variable.
Get individual computers. Use the Container.CustomCredentials property of the protection group object saved to the $group variable. Save the result to the $comp variable.
Run New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials to specify credentials to connect to the computer that you want to add to the protection group. Save the result to the $superviser variable.
Add the computer to the group of computers in the $comp variable. Use the += operator.
Run Set-VBRIndividualComputerContainer with the $group and $comp variables to modify the protection scope. Save the result to the $newcomp variable.
Run Set-VBRProtectionGroup with the $group and $newcomp variables.

$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name Computers

$comp = $group.Container.CustomCredentials

$supervisor = New-VBRIndividualComputerCustomCredentials -HostName support.east.local -Credentials support\jsmith

$comp += $supervisor

$newcomp = Set-VBRIndividualComputerContainer -Container $group.Container -CustomCredentials $comp

Set-VBRProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $group -Container $newcomp
