Need help with SharePoint and Security Groups
Hi all! I'm currently working on a case for a customer that is using Office 365 and SharePoint. He wants to be able to add and remove users to SharePoint sites with as less hassle as possible. So...
The best approach I have seen includes a two tier level: creating AD security groups then adding these groups to SP groups that make more sense to the structure of your site. That way, when someone gets turned off in AD, they are removed from all SP groups you created. It is a bit abstract, but seems to work.
It seems to work after logging out and logging in again with the user that is being added/removed. Didn't know that would be an issue.
WarreVlieghe Hmmm. I think you could do it with the 365 level instead. But honestly I do not know. I think the best way for an org to do this is to figure out what the requirements are (you have the basics). I do suggest abstracting it though at least one level so that it is easy for someone to be joined to a group and have all access and permissions that group has.
