You don't have sufficient permissions. This operation can only be performed by a manager of the group.

Use powershell and bypass the manager requirement

Hi,@Rising Flight
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Based on your description, you seem to be experiencing permission issues.I checked the official documentation, which provides two solutions.1.You may lack the following permissions:
2.Add yourself to the attribute ManagedBy

Currently, user1 is the owner of the group ******@contoso.com. I want to add user2 as an additional owner, so that both user1 and user2 are owners. Which of the syntaxes below will work?
Update-DistributionGroupMember -Identity ******@contoso.com -ManagedBy @{Add="******@contoso.com", "******@contoso.com"} -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck
or
Set-DistributionGroup ******@contoso.com -ManagedBy @{Add="******@contoso.com", "******@contoso.com"} -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck
hi,@Rising Flight
I'm glad to hear back from you.
To add an additional owner to a distribution group in Exchange, you would generally use the Set-DistributionGroup cmdlet. Between the two syntaxes you provided, the second one is the correct approach to add an additional owner:
Set-DistributionGroup ******@contoso.com -ManagedBy @{Add="******@contoso.com"} -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck
Here is my testing process:
1.The DL currently has only one owner.
2.Run the second command to add the owner.
