I'd doubth this; that is, in case:
- second group has access to the classical fileadmin (instead of the media)
- second group does have the right filemount
they DO for sure see all the files.

Only thing I can imagine would be that the Element-Browser might not 
behave as expected, which stems form the fact that the installation of 
DAM replaces the standard EM with the DAM-EM.

In general: I'd never ever mix DAM and non-DAM within one T3-instance, 
cause it certainly leads to confusion and unnecessary complexity.

index all non-indexed files. (dee dam-docu)
