Error message when you try to add a user account to a role or delete a user account from a role: "Cannot save one or more changes. The following problem occurred: The parameter is incorrect"

Consider the following scenario:

• You install Authorization Manager on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008. This computer joins a domain.
• You create an authorization store by using the Active Directory or Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) store type.
• You try to add a user account to a role in this authorization store or delete a user account from a role in this authorization store. The user account is from another domain. A trust relationship exists between the two domains.

In this scenario, you cannot add this user account to the role or delete this user account from the role. Additionally, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

This issue occurs because Authorization Manager cannot add a user account that is located in another domain to a role. Also, Authorization Manager cannot delete a user account that is located in another domain from a role.
