Insufficient access rights to perform the operation - Enable Recycle Bin - Active Directory

In this post, I describe how to fix the error:

Insufficient access rights to perform the operation

This error can occur when you try to enable the recycle bin in Active Directory.

Cause

In my case, this error occurred because I was logged on as the Administrator of a child domain.  By default, the Administrator of a child domain is a member of Domain Admins but not a member of Enterprise Admins.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, I logged on to the parent domain and added the child domain Administrator to the Members of the Enterprise Admins group.

After logging off and logging back on again to apply the group memebership, I successfully enabled the recycle bin in Active Directory.
