I am the owner of an Active Directory group, but I do not have permissions to add users to the group. I am told that I need our AD admins to add the users, but it had made me wonder what rights a group owner has (and indeed, why bother making someone an owner) when they cannot add people to a group.
How is this permission denied to the owner and is there a way to check for it via some property of the group?

You may check the "Managed By" tab of the group properties, there is a checkbox "Manager can update membership list", is that checked ?
