Hello, We currently have over 600 editors spread out to I've 300 projects. We are not with version 10 yet and still running version 6.5.
We have setup user groups for each different category and import user via LDAP. Managing the users themselves could cumbersome at times but doable. I don't know you're project setup but for us we have a master project that contains all templates that we share to all projects. Then each user group is associate to the projects and then each projects have their authorization packages and publication packages. In your case, I assume, they'll work on the same sites. So in your case, if you want to ease up the user management, you could separate your main or secondary navigation by projects and apply your different packages BUT doing this will bring some drawback like: you will not be able to use navigation manager as a whole, you might have some users working in different projects because of their role, you will not be able to use the automatic sitemap, so on so fourth..... Hope this help in your reflexion !
