Group Policy and Software Distribution

We have OUs of users who need programs which we distribute through GP.

When a user in that OU needs another program, we have to make an OU under that OU and link the object to that so they can have their original programs plus the new one. This all prevents everyone else who was in his original OU from getting that software.

I was thinking, we could create an OU and make a group inside that OU. Apply policy to that OU. For instance, if we want specific users from different OUs to get office, we can add them to a group under an OU getting office.

I tried doing this but couldn't get it to work. It seems like it would.

Anyone have any ideas? Another method of doing this?
 
got it, thanks!

Resolution:

Use security filtering to add the group and no one else
