Domain users, Authenticated users, Users or create a new security group. Question.

[edutech4schools]

Just going over folder shares and security and I seem to have inherited a mix of different groups on different folders.

 

On a share that everyone needs access to should I use Domain users, Authenticated users, Users or create a new security group?

 

They all work but in different ways and I am not 100% sure which would be best from a security point of view.

Ignore above post, sorry still sleepy.

 

Folder 1 (security = ?????)

- Shared Folder 2 (security = a group created in ad with users added)

 

If I have a folder (1) and then a folder in that folder (2) that is shared and the folder that is shared (2) has a new security group added and the default groups like everyone & users removed what should the folder above have as its security.

 

Sure I should have been able to put this better, WAKE ME UP.

It doesnt matter. It all depends in the share and ntfs permissions of folder 2.. if i understand what you are saying correctly
