Correct - that group only has the right to create GPOs (as indicated in that
link I posted). The creator of a GPO is given rights to edit the GPO. So, if
a user that is a member of Group Policy Creator Owners creates a GPO, the
user will then have permissions to edit the GPO (but only that user - not
the whole group).

If you need to give someone permission to an existing GPO you have to give
them permission on the domain.name/System/Policies/{GUID_of_GPO} container
and SYSVOL\Policies\{GUID_of_GPO}folder.
