I would love to know if there is a hard limit on the number of Sharepoint Groups per site collection. I know about the 2000 view item limit, but what about total groups?
I have a situation where a team site will have document libraries for multiple locations, in my case over 500 locations each with their own document library. Each library needs to be secured separately so that the location can only see their own info. We have AD groups for each location which we have added to Sharepoint Groups with permissions (per best practices recommendations), but what happens when we have several team sites and each one needs these location libraries?
We currently have all team sites in a separate (collaboration) site collection so we can share info across sites if needed. We have to break permission inheritence on each library to handle the individual security needs. We also want our locations to go to their 'My Teams' page which shows all subsites that they have access to. Future plans are to create separate (publishing site collection) sites for each location, where corporate groups can post specific info to the location site.
I would appreciate any advice (if anyone is reading). :)

Joyce, Did you ever get an answer to the maximum number of SP Groups per Site Collection?

According to an MS support engineer:
ReplyDeleteTheoretically the SharePoint security groups can be unlimited for Wss v3/MOSS, please note it is *theoretically* no black & white numbers available for this, this will differ per individual implementation. So basically you can have as many SharePoint groups at the site collection level but you will be limited by the ACL association mentioned below (64K).
