Here's the Windows 2000 Server equivalent. <http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/w2ksvrus.html> (I couldn't find an equivalent for Windows Server 2003, even on Microsoft's site.) And the Mac OS X Server equivalent. <http://images.apple.com/server/pdfs/User_Management_Admin_v10.4B.pdf> (3.4 MB PDF; see in particular pages 42 and 81.) If on the left you have a tree of nested groups, and on the right a list of user accounts for the selected group, that would solve your basic problem. Probably the biggest problem remaining would be finding a non-painful way of presenting what group or groups a given user account belongs to. -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
