Security groups are security principal Small Island developing States. Therefore, you can use these groups Access Control List permissions (ACL) entries for resource access control security. You can also Using security groups as a way to assign e -mail application. If you want to use the group to manage Security should be one of the security groups.

Otherwise, the group is given a SID, and the SID is added to the user's security access token, which may result in unnecessary large Security token.
