Need help with Groups in SharePoint, please
Why is it so complex currently or why is permission not inherited down through the sites and folders? Guess I’m trying to understand a bit more of the requirement before giving any thought.
Indies each site have a unique set of permissions? Security groups are sounding like the way to go here if many of the groups added to these sites are the same groups over and over etc.
A new event starts and we need to start a group for that event. The group will then inherit permissions for the event site/subsite (still figuring out which is best), and they will inherit permissions for specific folders located in a different site that they aren't part of.
Is this possible and how do you do it? We have attempted to use groups for this but it hasn't seemed to work how we want it to, we probably aren't doing it right.
Is there a way to automate this process so a new group is automatically created when there is a new event, and we can add 30-100 members to this group easily (through a command with a list, maybe)?
Sidenote: Because there is a limit to how many groups people can be apart of, I think we will delete the groups after a year; so there shouldn't be an issue there. The majority of users won't need access to an event after that long, and the people who will need access should be admins of those sites.
