Hi ysusanto... since you are now able to access details from AD, you need to
setup groups in Plone, and assign AD accounts to that new group… then, you
set the permissions on a Plone folder, and make the contents only accessible
to members of that new Plone group… 

Quick steps:
CREATING NEW GROUP | ASSIGNING MEMBERS
•	Open up the Zope Management Interface
•	In the root of your Plone site, click the acl_users folder
•	Click the source_groups link
•	Click the Add a group link (next to current groups)
•	Give the new group an ID, Title and Description
o	ID: ExecGroup
o	Title: Executive Group
o	Description: This group contains members of the executive staff
•	Click on the ExecGroup link (now listed under Current Groups)
•	Click the Assign link (next to the group name at the top)
•	Under Principle ID, type the name of the person you want to add to the
group, and click Search
•	The name should show up in the Available list
•	Click the name, and then click the arrow pointing to the right to drop the
name in the Active group
•	Repeat this process until all the executive members are in the new
ExecGroup

CREATING NEW FOLDER | ASSIGING GROUP TO FOLDER
•	Login to your Plone site through the browser (as an admin)
•	Create a new folder off the root of the site
•	Give the folder a title and description
•	Once the folder is created, leave the State as Private, but click on the
Sharing (light green tab)
•	Under Search for user or group, type the name of the ExecGroup name and
Search
•	The new group should show up under Logged-in users
•	Check the Can view, Can review, etc. checkboxes in the ExecGroup row, and
click Save (leave the inherit permissions box checked)

Now when your employees that are in the ExecGroup login to the plone site,
they will be the only ones who can see/access that folder.  Post all those
sensitive materials etc. in that new folder, and you should be set!

hope that helps!
steve
