strange ...
This issue can came from to things (assuming that you don't have restricted
groups implemented in GP and that you have made that user a member of Domain
Admins group not just Administrators) :

1. You have logged on with that user on a workstation that do not have
Domain Admins group added to local Administrators group.
2. You have modified the user group membership but you haven't logged off
and on.
