PowerShell Add-DistributionGroupMember - Error failed because it's out of the current user's write scope

Question

I am the owner for one of the Distribution group and i am able to add/remove members in Exchange Admin Center (EAC). However, I am getting an error while adding members using the cmd

"Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "DL Group Name" -Member 'MemberID' ".

Error Message: failed because it's out of the current user's write scope.

Error

I am able to get the members present in the DL, but its not allowing me add the member via PowerShell.

Any additional permissions required for Add-DistributionGroupMember ?

The object is synced from on-premises, you need to run the command against your on-premises Exchange Server not Exchange Online.
