The account needs to be a member of the local administrators you run gpedit and also make sure you are running gpedit with run as administrator option.

Hello,
I receive a pop up error message window when I try to open local group policy editor in windows 10 device. The windows 10 device is domain joined to windows Active Directory(windows server 2012) I'm currently logged in to windows 10 device using a domain user account
The pop up error windows simply states:
Group policy error, You do not have permission to perform this operation. Details: Access Denied.
This issue is usually present even when i set up a new active directory running any windows server version, By default opening local group policy editor from the client devices joined to the domain i get that error. Is it a default behavior of group policy in AD environment, or is a group policy that i need to set up so as to allow local users to open local group policy editor.

Yes, it is the default behavior of the local group policy editor on the Windows 10 device that the domain user account cannot open. Make sure you are using the Administrator account, if you are using a Domain network, make sure you are having admin access.
If you don’t have admin access contact your IT administrator to get the Delegate Permissions for Group Policy. The below article describes procedures for an administrator to delegate permissions to others using the GPMC so that they can perform some Group Policy administrative tasks.
