Hello.
I actually don't have a use for it at the moment but was just wondering how I
could just quickly assign a particular group to a particular set of users,
instead of figuring out the groups for each user again and again e.g. an
"internet" group which includes all sorts of internet-related subgroups, a
"games" group which includes all multimedia and games groups etc.
Thanks,
George
