Solution
Ensure that the Custom Admin role is assigned a Resource Set that includes the users and/or groups that are being linked. For example:
If User A is in Group A and User B is in Group B, then the Resource Set applied to the Custom Admin Role must include both Group A and Group B in order to link User A and User B through a Linked Object Custom Attribute.
