Group naming conventions
When developing your Active Directory group naming strategy, use a universal naming convention to ensure that people within your organization can identify groups easily. A best practice is to use a naming convention that identifies the type of group and its purpose. Consider this example.
- Prefix. The prefix identifies the management purpose of the group. In the example, ACL identifies that the group appears in the Access Control List of shared resources.
- Resource identifier. This uniquely identifies the resource that the group is managing and to which it has access. In the example, the resource identifier is SalesFolders.
- Suffix. The suffix further defines the access rights that the group membership is granted. For resource access management groups, the suffix defines the level of access that group members have. In this example, the suffix is Read, indicating that the group has Read permissions.
