How to apply file access permission set on one account to other account ?

I got a problem. Every time there is new staff, I have to set file access permission on the file server for that new staff to be the same as existing user.

File access permission means what files/folders can this person access/edit on the file server.

So i want to know is there any way that i can create the new user account with file access permission to be the same as one existing user without the need for me to set that permission manually on each file and folder ?

Thanks,

Well you can create a group instead and assign all those rights and permissions to the group.

Then when you get a new person, create a new user and make them a member of that group. They inherit all the permissions assigned to that group as long as they are in it.

Is there any other alternatives ?

currently i am not using group. instead i assign the permission to individual account. and now there are quite many accounts.

so without using group, is there any other way to deal with my situation ?

Thanks,


Not really as this was the intended use of the groups.
