Can you use groups within the Sophos Groups?

funkytechmonkey

For example. I want to create a Sophos Administrator group. That group will be added to the Administrators group in Roles and Sub-Estates as well as the local group Sophos Console Administrators.  Right now we are just added individual peoples names into these two groups.

Also, If I am just giving a group access to run reports do they have to be in the Sophos Console Administrators group?

The discriptions for the Sophos Console Administrators group says Administrators of the Enterprise Console and all documentation I read says all uses of the console need to be in the Sophos Console Admin group. Shouldnt this group be called "Console Access" instead of Administrator in it. Having ADMIN in it makes it sould like you are giving them full access.

Then you have the Sophos FULL Administrator. Whats the difference?

    I found this in some documentation.... It says I can assign Windows Users and Groups to the roles. So they support using groups within the app but the windows groups will not work when you add them to the local group?  Honestly that makes it a mess for adding new users. We have a new HelpDesk department that is about to start with our company and it would be so much easier if I just created a group in AD and assigned a group to all of those users, instead I will have to add each individual person to the "Sophos Admin Console", the DCOM and then add each individual person to the rule or sub group (if adding a group to the rules doesnt work)

    Thats not going to be fun.
