SQL Server Logins : Using a Windows Group created with other Windows groups

  • I have 10 Windows Groups and will add them to new Windows Group.

    Can I then use this new Windows Group as a Login instead of adding the original 10 groups as Logins.

    Many Thanks in advance

  • why don't you try it out?

    yes, a group can be added as a login even when it contains nested groups.
    The group nesting management is controlled by Active Directory
