Assigning AD security groups to WSS sites

Asked By: Raymundo House Date: Jun 14, 2005 Category: Sharepoint Views: 290

Is there a way to add users to WSS sites site-groups from AD security
groups rather than from distribution lists from Exchange. We have
portal sites where users are added to site groups from domain security
groups and we would like to add some of these security groups to some
of the WSS sites of the portal sites.

Yes, just use DOMAIN\GroupName as the user and add them to a role.

Is there any way to use an AD security group or distribution list with cross-site groups? It is cumbersome to type in names every time…. And then when the names in the group change ….it is very tough.

No, only individual accounts work with cross-site groups. The easiest way for me
to think of cross-site groups is as if I do not have permission to create AD
groups and I need to group users together to add to site groups as if they were
members of an AD group.

You may add AD groups to site groups (not cross-site groups) but the missing
part is the link to AD Users & computer browser. You must know and enter the
group as domain\group. No GUI pick & choose.
