Rights needed to add a member to a group?

As a member of a group that has AdminGroups and AdminUsers rights, my
attempts to add another user to a group are failing; although no error
message is generated, and the operation claims to succeed (“Member
added”) the user is not actually added to the group, and the updated
list of members does not include the user that I am trying to add.

If I try this from a user without AdminGroups and AdminUsers, the
operation fails with a “Permission Denied” message.

When I log in as root, with SuperUser rights, it is possible to add the
user to a group successfully. Is SuperUser always required in order to
add users to groups, or is there some other right I should have?

This is with RT 2.0.14 (upgraded from RT 2.0.12/13).

My user has no particular rights, but is a member of the adm and eng
groups, which have the following rights:

eng:
ShowTemplate
ShowTicket
AdminKeywords
ShowACL
ShowScrips
ShowTicketComments
Watch
ModifySelf

adm:
ModifyACL
AdminUsers
AdminQueue
AdminGroups
ModifyQueueWatchers
ModifyScrips
ModifyTemplate
ShowACL
ShowScrips
ShowTemplate
AdminKeywordSelects

I cannot duplicate this here.

AdminGroups is the only relevant right.

If I grant myself AdminGroups, I can admin groups. If I revoke
it, I can’t…
