Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2

Situation

Administrators are created in ZCC and are assigned to administrator groups.  The groups are granted rights to create and modify device groups, such as adding devices to a device group.  The administrator is unable to create device groups or add users to a group even though they have the correct rights.  If the rights are assigned directly to the administrator, it does work.  Some administrators in the same group do work when others do not.
