Unless you include the entire list of valid SIDs/GIDs in the Inquisit script(s), that's the way to go. Inquisit scripts themselves have no way to query external databases.

It's unclear what exactly "batch together" means here. When using Inquisit's own <batch> elements, users will be prompted for SID/GID only once -- same SID/GID will be used for all scripts administered by the <batch>.
Similarly, when batching scripts via command line scripts or the like, you will not be prompted for SID/GID if you include those properly as command line parameters (see the "How to Launch Inquisit Using Command Line Parameters" topic in the documentation for details).
