# Active Directory - Structuring and Group Creation

To get started, I'm going to create an Organizational Unit called "TheCompany". Here, we'll store our Users and Security Groups:

The I've made 2 security groups: Sales and Marketing

Next, I'll load 2 drives, 1 for each SG and set permissions so that only members of each security group can see the relevant shared drive for the group. This will be help set up baselines for when I attempt pentesting to simulate malicious insider threats.
