We have configured two managed Metadata services in our SharePoint 2010 Farm, named MMS1 & MMS2 and both has its own proxy service. **Question:1<br/>** MMS1 has a termset group - MMS1_TG1<br/> MMS2 has a termset group - MMS2_TG1 If I open any of the MMS, it shows both MMS1_TG1 & MM2_TG1. How is this possible as both of those are in different DBs. **Question:2<br/>** MMS1 is associated with Default proxy group.<br/> MMS2 is associated with Custom proxy group.<br/> Default proxy group is associated with a Webapplication - MyDemo. If I open a Metadata management tool in Mydemo webapplication, I could see again both the Termset Group MMS1_TG1 & MMS2_TG1. How is this possible, The Webapplication Mydemo is just connected only with MMS1 through the proxy group default and how I could see both the termset group from two different MMS? **Question:3<br/>** As per the Microsoft article, User should be able to view his local & global (associated with the webapplication). If I want to hide a global termset group from the enduser, what has to be done? **Question:4<br/>** Should I need to give Read permission to All authenticated Users in the MMS Administrator section? **Note:** I have only one service account in my entire Farm. Application pool uses the same service account used as a Farm account.
