A simple approach is to set up two groups, P4Admin and dev, for example. For the admin group, I deliberately chose something that is *not* either 'root' or 'Administrator' so that people logged in as one of these on either Unix or Windows don't accidentally become these Perforce users.

Steve,

What are the advantages of having two groups? I would think that having groups would start paying off when three or more are required to achieve additional granularity. For instance, we have several dozen users all of whom have read access to everything in every depot and each of whom has write access to the depots of his or her application(s.) Then, we have the 'p4admin' user and a handful of superusers with admin privileges. Why would we want to implement Perforce groups? What am I missing?
