Summary
Groups provide a means of managing a large number of users as a single administrative unit. Membership to a group entitles the user to all resources assigned to that group. Windows NT server provides a number of ready made groups with appropriate permissions to simplify the work required in setting up such groups.

If a user is to exported to another domain, they are placed into a Global Group. This global group is then imported into a Local group of the resource domain.
