I added my admin user to this group so their password would not expire. However, it continues to expire anyway. I have other (not built-in) accounts that use this policy successfully so it seems like the priority is not working correctly. I am unable to change the priority on the global_policy. Is my only option to add another policy with the same config as the global policy but a lower priority and assign that to all my users?

Password policy for expiration is applied at the time the password is
changed/set, not retroactively, so you may just need to reset the
password on those accounts.

To see what policy will be applied to a give user do:

$ ipa pwpolicy-show --user=someuser
