Is it possible tofind out what folders /files have security goverend by a
particular sceurity group. That is, can I get a list of all the folders or
files whose security tab includes a given security group?

The only way to get this information is to recurse over
all of the possible locations and check, listing out where
the group of interest is found granted an access.

There are third-party tools that can help, but in the end
you still need to (one way of the other) look at all possible
locations.

This is why a best practice is to define groups for the
resources (or natural sets of resources) and use these
on the resources. Then, answering your question is only
a matter of looking at the group of principals to see what
resource groups it has membership within.
When this practice has not been established and maintained
one ends up needing to examine resources in detail to get
a picture of who has access to what.

Can you tell what any of the third party tools are - any help will be good
.. Yes, I am in a situation where Best Practises have not been followed.

Thanks
