INTRODUCTION
This article contains information to help administrators and site users to add lots of users to a site, to a list, or to a document library in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 deployments.
MORE INFORMATION
The maximum size of a SharePoint discretionary access control list (DACL) is 64 kilobytes (KB) or approximately 1,820 access control entries (ACEs). Exceeding the 64 KB limit can have a negative effect on the performance of features such as Search and Alerts.
We recommend that you do not target the maximum size in your planning.
To add lots of users to a site, to a list, or to a document library, we recommend that you add the users by using domain groups instead of adding users directly or adding users to a SharePoint group. You can use domain groups to reduce the number of ACEs in the SharePoint DACL for the site, for the list, or for the document library to optimize performance.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
