Group Name: Displays the name of the touch screen group
AD Group: Displays whether the group requires authentication using Active
Directory.
NOTE: Active Directory provides an additional layer of authentication for touch
screen groups and users. Active directory group and user names are stored in the
touch screen console along with a unique SID (security identifier). When an Active
Directory user attempts to authenticate against the console, the console uses the
credentials provided by the user to authenticate against Active Directory. If the
Active Directory authentication is successful, Active Directory queries the console
for the user or group's SID. The user is granted access to the touch screen only if
at least one SID match is found.
Access Level: Displays the access level granted to user in the group
(Administrator, Programmer, Operator, User, or Connect)
