Just after posting I noticed that what you were attempting to modify does
not prevent then from changing the membership of those groups, which
was your stated objective. Those do prevent them from being able to
alter the DACL so that they could grant the ability to alter the groups'
memberships back to themselves, which is no doubt why you were
trying to change these, but you would need to change the other grants
for writing, etc. and change the owner.
