We are wanting to use Active Directory groups to manage security in ourWSS environment, but we want to be able to assign tasks to individualmembers of the group. Is there a way to maintain security with ADgroups but still have the ability to assign tasks to individual members?Thanks!
You would have to add those individual users and assign them individualsecurity rights to the site/area/list/whatever.I don't know what takes precedence though; AD Groups, or invididualpermissions. My best guess is that the individual permissions would takeprecedence over the group permissions, but I could be wrong aboutthat...
Whenever a new Web is provisioned, everyone that needs to be in theAssigned To dropdown will need to visit the Web in a browser. Otherwise,you will need to write a custom software solution.
SharePoint aggregates all rights assigned to an individual and/or ADgroup as the collective set of things that a user can do.
you can always have the task drop down list (for example) come from a custom list, not the user list. we had to do that because all users are assign via AD.
