Using AD Groups to Log Into the Orion Web Console

I added a Windows AD Security group called "Orion-Admins" with various members. I then added this group via the orion web console, and gave it admin permissions.

However, I am not able to log into orion with Accounts that are members of that group using DOMAIN\user. If I add one of those accounts directly as a user instead of a group, I can login.

Am I misunderstanding what the ability to add AD groups is for, or maybe I need to do something to configure the group?

No, that should work - its a security group that's required.

Here is a document on using AD authentication in Orion and there'a a troubleshooting section at the back:

The PDF referenced in this thread is outdated. Visit the SolarWinds Success Center to learn more about Windows Authentication with Active Directory in these articles:

The Orion Platform Administrator Guide contains additional details about managing users in the Orion Web Console.
