An Active Directory (AD) user or group is one whose access to Peer Management Center is authenticated through Active Directory. Adding an Active AD user or group authenticates and authorizes that user or group members to use Peer Management Center. The AD user or group must already exist in Active Directory prior to adding the user or group to Peer Management Center.
Active Directory users won't be able to access the web client until Active Directory authentication is configured in Peer Management Center.
For information about managing Active Directory users and groups, see Managing Active Directory Users.
When you add Active Directory users and groups to Peer Management Center, you need to specify their access to Peer Management Center functionality by assigning them a standard web role or a custom web role. A web role is a set of permissions that specifies the appropriate level of access to Peer Management Center functionality. For example, some users will need to the ability to create and edit jobs, while other users may need only to view job summaries. Assign the most suitable role to each user, giving them the most appropriate level of control and not more.
For more information about web roles, see Overview of Web Roles.
