Exchange Online User can't add users to onpremises distribution list?

Hi,

 

I migrated a few test users to Exchange Online, but they are Owners of an Distributions Group OnPremises, on my Exchange 2019.

 

When they where OnPremises Mailboxes they are able to add and remove users to/from this group. On is superior of this group (I'm not shure, if I translated this right).

We built explicitly an User Role: MyDistributionGroups, 
MyDistributionGroupMembership

 

but now they can't make any changes at their group. With Online groups it is working, but I dont want to create all DL at the cloud during this test.

 

Error: Änderungen an der Mitgliedschaft der öffentlichen Gruppen können nicht gespeichert werden. Sie besitzen nicht die erforderlichen Berechtigungen, um diesen Vorgang mit diesem Objekt auszuführen. 

 

in Englisch like:Changes to public group membership cannot be saved. You do not have the required permissions to perform this operation on this object.

 

How can I grant this rights again for Online Users?

      Yes, this is right, but I want to manage OnPremises Distribution Group, not Online.
      When my non Adminuser goes: https://outlook.office365.com/ecp/
      I receive:

        You need to add members to the DL synced to azure from the local active directory and run the sync back to azure.
