[dba-SQLServer] Inherited Permissions

because teammanager is not part of the staffgrp, teammanager does not have 
staffgrp permissions. with the current setup, anyone who belongs to staffgrp 
would also have permissions of the managergrp as well because that user 
would have the permission staffgrp (because that user is part of the 
staffgrp) and also have the permission of the managergrp as well (because 
the staffgrp is part of (that is, is a user of) the managergrp who has 
permissions "intended for managers only").  you probably want it the other 
way around.
