Active Directory User Groups

Active Directory has a number of methods to organise and categorise users, one of these methods is through Security Groups. A user can be a member of multiple groups and a group can have multiple users as a member of it. This makes it really convenient to use groups to control policies that get applied to users.

PureFM’s implementation of Security Groups

The group a user belongs to will depend on their role in PureFM. See the table below for how group membership relates to a users role at Pure.

Group Name	Type	Membership
Domain Users	Builtin	All accounts which users actively use
Domain Administrators	Builtin	Top level administrators. Should only be given to competent people as this imposes no restrictions. Should only ever be assigned to admin specific accounts
GP-TECHTEAM	Custom	Tech Team members (standard accounts)
GP-MUSICTEAM	Custom	All music team members
GP-MUSICTEAMPLUS	Custom	Senior Music Team members (provides edit access on Music drive)
GP-COMMITTEE	Custom	All committee members
GP-COMMITTEEPLUS	Custom	Senior committee members (provides access to all sensitive files)
