Security groups are a way to efficiently manage access to resources on a network. They group users, computers, or other groups together and assign permissions to the group as a whole, rather than to each individual member. This simplifies administration and ensures that only authorized users have access to specific resources. For example, you could create a security group for all members of the marketing department and grant that group permission to access a shared folder containing marketing materials.
