Anyway, neither in windows nor in unix/linux you want to specify permissions on a per user level. Always groups. If the user leaves the company and the permissions are on a per user level you need to start all over again. If on a per group level, just disable/remove the user from the group and it keeps working for the rest of members.
And what do you do when you have cases that a user needs access to these set of files/directories but not all the files/directories the group has access to?
If you are in such a scenario, then you have not planned your folder structure well enough :-)
What do you do when you have thousands of users in your company? Do you keep individual permissions or do you use group permissions?
I know what I'd rather do, specially if I need to audit that folder structure.
You are assuming that company structure is somehow sensible. Just saying that 'always groups' may not work everywhere.
