Post upgrade Exchange 2013 permissions for users to create/edit contacts in Directory (GAL)

We are on the E2 plan. Pre-upgrade I assigned the following permissions (custom role group) via GUI (not PowerShell) to some users to be able to create/edit external contacts and distribution groups:

Distribution Groups

Mail Recipient Creation

Mail Recipients

Message Tracking

That worked. Now, post-upgrade (Exchange 2013) either that is not sufficient or we no longer know how. I don't see where the user has "Admin" link, and if she uses "People" link, she sees the GAL but adding a contact adds it to her My Contacts and there's no selection for save to Directory (GAL).

So, post-upgrade how do I let users create/edit external contacts? GUI or PowerShell, I don't care, just how to do.

Thanks,

Joan
