They will be and should remain members of users as well. This doesn't
represent a problem unless you're doing tricky stuff with permissions & plan
to explicitly deny access to the Users group for anything - and yet want a
specific user to have more permissions.

handful, why not set up a domain so you can use all the centralized security
stuff? There's no additional cost...
