I saw and responded to your other post, but I wanted to respond to this as well.
It is is possible for ACLs to be set on a group that directly disallows an Admin
from changing a group type or whatever else. You always need to look at the
actual ACL on the object now, being an Admin doesn't mean you automatically get
to change anything you want in AD.
However being an admin, if you want to change something in AD, even if you don't
have permission, there are ways to grant yourself those permissions to do so.
