Active Directory users appear on the Group Members list. There is a new column which indicates if the user is a local user or a Active Directory user. Only local users can be added or removed from the list.

User Details

While editing an Active Directory user some fields are invisible. Login name cannot be changed. The domain of the User is shown in the header of the editor.

If the Active Directory user is not a member of a group authorized to use the PhixFlow, the proper message is shown.
