Issues adding Address Lists role group

Question

From the EAC, permissions, admin roles , I'm trying to add the "Address Lists" Role group.

However, I keep getting this error:

You don't have access to create, change, or remove the "mytenant.onmicrosoft.com\Address Lists-NameOfGroup" management role assignment. You must be assigned a delegating role assignment to the management role or its<br> parent in the hierarchy without a scope restriction.

*names in bold have been replaced*

What exactly do I do about this? I should have full admin permissions. I am also in the "Organisation Management" group. Not sure what steps need to be taken.

Answer 1

Using Internet Explorer, I follow the steps above to add Address Lists to the Organization Management. This is the error shown: 

Answer 2

Here is the screenshot, let me know if you follow the same steps. Also, please send a screenshot of the error.

Answer 3

Are you adding the role to the Organization Manager role (as on the screenshot). Also, please use IE for that. Can you also add yourself to Discovery management, wait 1 hour and try again?

Answer 4

Hi,

This is an issue for Exchange Online (EXO). I've added myself to the Organization Manage group, but since that group already included "Exchange Service Administrators" and "Company Administrator" I find it strange since I think I should be a member in at least one of them:

Answer 5

Hello,

Is this Exchange online, or local Exchange server?

For EXO: you must wait a bit, after adding yourself to the Organization Management group.

For EX: this could be a possible solution: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ashour/2014/07... (please ignore, that the role is not the same. The idea is identical).
