Groups
Groups, or group accounts, are collections of user accounts and can have permissions assigned
to them just like user accounts. Most permissions are granted to groups, not individuals,
and then individuals are made members of the groups. It is therefore important
that you have a set of groups that handles both the mix of people in your organization
and the mix of permissions that you want to establish. A number of standard groups
with preassigned permissions are built into Windows Server 2008, but you can create
your own groups, and you can assign users to any of these.
Look at the groups that are a standard part of Windows Server 2008 and see what
permissions they contain, and then create your own if you need to. As with user accounts,
you look at groups differently depending on whether you are on a stand-alone
server or on an Active Directory domain controller.
