User rights and permissions can be perplexing. If done right, you can increase user productivity, lessen your own workload and tighten system security. However, these goals are often at odds with one another. How do you give this person permissions but not that person? How do you provide users' access to X resource without compromising security? These can sometimes seem like impossible situations to resolve in a way that makes everyone happy. But ultimately, your job is to do just that -- make everyone happy. The prospect is daunting, isn't it?
