Security Groups: Wizards vs. Manual Admin

I'm setting up a WSE 2012 server for the first time; I'm surprised to find that there doesn't seem to be a way to segregate users into various security groups via the wizards.

Certainly it's possible via "under-the-hood" management of standard NTFS permissions, but it's my understanding that it's best to use the provided wizards whenever possible. The trouble is that maintenance becomes exponentially more complex--not to mention the increased human error risk--if I have to manage everything on a per-user basis. In fact that's what the concept of security groups is all about.

I would have thought this was a basic configuration need and therefore provided as standard wizard-controlled operating procedure. Am I missing something? Will I break anything by doing it "manually?"

Thanks,
Jeff Bowman
