Admins can use Boolean expressions to identify people and groups that expand beyond the limits of standard Active Directory Groups. You can select multiple users and groups, exclude some users with the NOT operator, and add other users
In this example, the LargeData Marketing group is the Group that this policy applies to, but the group excludes user mig1@qanet.com.
