I was just using HRO as an example. I'm on a military base and we usually have one global group for each unit that contains all the members of the unit for the dissemination of unit-specific information. Then we create a group for each section of the unit and place the appropriate members into that group. Like my examples, we have some people that need access to specific folders so we have to create groups for those users. Then there's the base-wide groups for when we need to get info to everyone. And on and on. We have about 400 groups total.
I'm just curious if that's how it's done on the "outside".

I'm lazy, so in this example, I would simply apply the different individual user permissions on a folder by folder basis depending on which user required it rather than creating a separate group. I suppose you could always create one HRO Users group that they are all members of and then apply DENY permissions individually to the users who do not need access. On the other hand, if HRO Users represents 10,000 users and each group is a percentage of that, then I would create individual groups for each different area of folder access. This probably didnt answer your question, but then again, while you are thinking of creative ways to apply permissions, Im at home sleeping like a baby. -----Original Message----- From: Parrnelli GS11 Ben T [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 7:30 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Somewhat OT - Global Groups Posted this in a newsgroup and got no response. Thought I'd throw it out here. I know the mantra goes, "manage by groups, not individuals". However, I have a question that I'm hoping someone may have some thoughts on. Say I create a group called "HRO Users" and put the entire section of 8 people in it. Call them Users A through H. I then create four shared folders on my file server and want to give various HRO users access. But not all of them in the HRO Users GG. HRO Management - A, B, C, D HRO Clerks - E, F, G, H HRO IT - A, B, E HRO Exchange - C, D, F Is creating a GG for Each folder the proper/best way to give these people access? I then have to have five GGs for 8 users. A couple more folders and I'm up to a one to one ratio which doesn't seem logical to me. Is there a better way? To make this a little on-topic, I've read that you can manage your PFs using DLs and the same concept. Does anyone do this? Seems like an awful lot of DLs... Thanks.
