Touch screen groups are listed in table format. The following information is displayed for
each touch screen group:
l Group Name: The chosen group name
l AD Group: Reports whether the group is (Yes) or is not (No) authenticated through
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 first
checks the user credentials. 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.
l Access Level: The access level for the selected group (Administrator, Programmer,
Operator, User, or Connect)
If the touch screen groups span multiple pages, use the navigation arrows on the bottom
of the page to move forward or backward through the pages, or select a page number to
navigate to that page. Additionally, the number of groups displayed on each page may be
set to 5, 10, or 20 users.
An Actions column is also provided for each group that allows various actions to be
performed. The following selections may be selected from the Actions column.
