Hello Alex,

You will not find any automation way without writing lot's of scripts. Unfortunal
using local groups in a domain is a really bad decision and if you made this
with that amount of groups, i think you have to find a script which will
do the job but also needs the option to change it for each new folder.

In my opinion prepare a new shared folder, create a new structure on it,
a maximum of 3 folders deep where you set permissions and copy the data to
the new structure. This is a one-time planning with the company structure
and rebuilding the complete folders which will save you hours of work and
reconfiguration to get it properly running in the future.

So let it look like this:
Company (toplevel share)
branch 1, branch 2, etc.

If needed create a deeper structure but in my opinion let the branches work
with there own structure.

For personalized data use a different share. But therefore we need more detailed
information how your folder structure should lokk like.

Best regards
