SYMPTOMS
When you delegate rights to users to change query-based distribution group objects, those users cannot modify object permissions such as the displayNamePrintable attribute by using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. The users may also receive the following error message:

Access Denied



CAUSE
This problem may occur when a user tries to modify an attribute that the user has permissions for, but the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in incorrectly tries to modify other attributes at the same time. Because the user does not have sufficient permissions to modify these other attributes, the user experiences the symptoms that are described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section.
