Enable distribution group owner to modify membership through Outlook

We have exchange 2010 hybrid environment with all user mailboxes and distribution groups in O365.

We have delegated the distribution group owner to a user and given them rights to modify membership.

But the user gets following error while making membership changes from within outlook:

"The action update-distributiongroupmember, Identitiy-members, can't be performed on the object 'ABCD froup' because the object is being synchronized from your on-premises organization. This action should be performed on the object in your on-premises organization".

 

How can we get around this error and successfully delegate this function.

Can it be only performed using on-premises AD 

  • As the message clearly says, a group that is synchronized from AD needs to be managed in AD.
