Recipients >Â Groups >Â Distro Group in Question >Â
On the Ownership tab, the user is listed in the Owners section.
In the Membership Approval tab, join and leave are set to "Closed", which says "Members can be added only by the group owners"
In Active Directory Users and Computers
Groups >Â Distribution Groups >Â Distro Group in Question >Â
Managed By tab, the user is listed in the Name field for ownership, and the "Manager can update membership list" box is checked.
However, when the user/owner goes to the Outlook Address Book, opens the distribution group, Modify Members, Add, select user from list, OK... the error pops up:
"Changes to the public group membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object."
What am I missing?

Do you have deny rules anywhere?
I don't see that, where should I look?
You can turn this feature back on in Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 for all users by simply enabling the MyDistributionGroups setting on the Default Role Assignment Policy.
Bingo! That looks like it. However, is there any way to allow the owners to add/remove users to their groups without giving them the rights to add and delete groups themselves?

Shaun, I didn't know what you wanted me to check.
Vijaya, that would work, but I don't want to give that much permission. I want to give only a portion of that permission.

#a42093637 is a working solution
Yes, it fixes the initial problem, but it gives too much permission. Nobody responded to my follow-up, which is why I never closed this thread.
Bingo! That looks like it. However, is there any way to allow the owners to add/remove users to their groups without giving them the rights to add and delete groups themselves?
So... to follow up: Is there a way to grant access to a user to add/remove members without also granting them the ability to create/delete distribution groups?
