Additional Information

This is as designed. Only members assigned the default Administrator role can own groups that have the "Members can update all items in this group" enabled. Therefore, the Administrator role of a Member who owns a group with the update capabilities enabled cannot be changed while they are assigned ownership of the group. Please see the Portal Administrator Guide for Creating groups for more detail: http://server.arcgis.com/en/portal/10.5/administer/windows/create-groups.htm

Workaround

Delete the group, or transfer the ownership of the group that contains the capability to another administrator to reduce the role of the named user in Portal for ArcGIS.
