NT Authentication - Why Group-Level Admining Preferred

NT Authentication - Why Group-Level Admining Preferred

The preferred way to manage Cornerstone with NT authentication is to add entire groups, rather than individual users. By managing at the group level, you will notice improved performance and it will be easier to configure and maintain your server. Some customers even choose to create groups on their Domain that correspond to user classes in Cornerstone. You could create a new Domain group called "Cornerstone Users" which contains any domain users you wish to have access to Cornerstone.

You will probably not notice little difference if you plan on having a small, static number of users configured, which is why the ability to add users without groups is enabled.
