Self security / permission group.

Hi, I need to edit the Self security group for all users on my network. We use a third party programme to email out. I need to enable a few features under the Self security permission group. I have done this several times, but something keeps removing the permissions!!.

I cant find the group to change this globally.

Can you explain what you mean by self security group.  I don't recognize this from SBS, but maybe you have a different language and there is difficulty with translation?  Why not use Exchange to email out, since it is included with SBS.
The Self group is a dynamic group.. What are you trying to change??

Are you talking about "Self" group that is viewed in user properties \ security tab..

So, there is no way around it: you need to explicitly revoke \ change the SELF permissions from all existing user objects. You can do that with AD Users & Computers, or dsacls.

may be somebody scripting expert can get that automation for you depending upon your requirements

Self is a special group. If you need to allow a third party tool to do emailing, then it would usually have its own account and then that account would be granted the permissions. I have never heard of an application requiring changes to the "Self" group.

It would really help if we knew what you were trying to accomplish?

Hi, the setting I am trying to change is the  "Self" group that is viewed in user properties \ security tab"

When I allow Send as, Receive as, this seems to be revoked back to nothing eventually for no reason and I have to keep going back and allowing this permission again.
