I am proofreading a file and in this sentence I think it should be miembro, in singular, instead of miembros.
"Los permisos de usuario se administran en forma separada para un grupo de ACD y sus ACD miembros."
Any thoughts? Also, is there a rule? Because it sounds to me that I´ve always heard the phrase "países miembro" and that´s why the plural sounds weird.

Ceci,
Creo que la construcción correcta en español prescinde del segundo acrónimo:
"Los permisos de usuario se administran en forma separada para un grupo de ACD y sus miembros."
En inglés:
"User permits are separately issued/awarded/processed for an ACD [or pertinent acronym] group and its members".

miembros
I vote for "miembros" in the plural form. The sentence makes sense, "...a group of ACD and its ACD members."

plural
with "paíes miembro" the translation would be member countries. In your case it would be ACD members, because there are several members and one ACD - so "miembros".
Good luck!

y sus miembros
Hi Ceci. To me, "miembros" makes sense. By the way, I don't like the structure "y sus ACD miembros"; too anglicized. I would say "un grupo de ACD y sus miembros", i.e. los miembros del grupo de ACD (isn't it implied?)
