Then right click a portion that is still highlighted, and choose copy.

All members of Administrative Group will be displayed. Below them is an Add button. Select Add. A Select Users screen will display, at the bottom of which is an Advanced button. Select Advanced Button. An expanded Select Users box will display. Press button which reads Find Now. Select the troublesome one from the list and proceed to add it to administrators.
