I was thinking of managing user with grid, as it allows for a user to be
a part of multiple groups, and allows me to manage a small set of users
quickly.


On windows xp, user groups management is to type in users group

	user1 : grp1; grp2; grp3; .....

Or 

-------------------------------------------------
User1
------------------------------------------------- 
< description>
<basic details>
-------------------------------------------------
-----------------		-----------------
| User's group	|		|  Group list	|
-----------------		-----------------
|		|		|		|
| grp1		|     < Add 	| grp4		|
| grp2		|     Remove >	| grp5
| grp3		|		| grp6		|
| ...		|		| ...		|
-----------------		-----------------
-------------------------------------------------


There are few more examples from
