Nested Asset Groups

In addition to creating nested user groups, you can nest asset groups within as many levels as you require.

For example, imagine a corporate asset group that contains various files and other general‑purpose assets, one of which is the telephone directory. You want to associate these general‑purpose assets with the more specific assets in three other asset groups that comprise payroll, administrative, and mailroom assets. You can accomplish the appropriate sharing of assets and avoid a duplication of asset groups by nesting the three more specific asset groups within the general‑purpose asset group.
