Hello,

I am working on tightening security of some SQL Servers on our network. We use NT Domain Accounts for access.
The sys admins have a group setup to represent developers.
OurDomain\Dev (ex:)

If I give this NT Group/Role permissions to a database, will the NT users under the group get the permission as well?
(I would test this, but our servers are full of individual permissions and I can't start dropping users)

I haven't been able to find anything on this using google yet. Any pointers to an article or explanations?

Thanks

Yes, the users in the group would inherit the group's permissions whilst retaining any that they have individually.

If you deny an action to either a user or a group then that takes priority over any allow permission.
