Setting Up a Group in Sharepoint

[petersok]

I setup the Group in Sharepoint, give the Group permission to the Folder. Then I go do put and Alert on one of the files in that folder, but the Alert screen cannot find that Group.

I can see the Group on the left side of my Sharepoint home page and I can open that group. But I cannot select it in the Alert screen.

Any idea?

A SharePoint group can contain e-mail lists and libraries on your site, so that when sending a message to the SharePoint group, the content also adds to their site. Your group owner or administrator may have specified that no articles are archived on your Windows SharePoint Services 3.0-site. Or the owner or the administrator may have configured the additional lists or libraries, such as document libraries to receive content when someone sends a message to the SharePoint group.

A group (represented by the SPGroup) is a collection of internal users (or Active Directory), the groups that you can then assign a permission level on a given site. You can do so via the web interface, but if you are sourcing program sites, you should code to define who is allowed to use it.
