How to map Active Directory users to Ignition roles and permissions (Ignition 8.1)

Hello everyone,

I am using Ignition 8.1 and need some guidance regarding Active Directory based security in Perspective.

So far, I have completed the following:

  • Created an Active Directory User Source in the Gateway

  • Created an Identity Provider linked to the AD User Source

My question is related to authorization / permissions in Perspective views.

When I configure Security settings on a Perspective component (for example, Required Roles), I only see Ignition default roles, and I am not sure how to:

  • Use Active Directory users or AD groups for authorization

  • Assign permissions so that specific AD users (or groups) can perform actions such as button clicks, tag writes, or view access

  • Understand where AD roles/groups should appear and how they map to Ignition roles

  • How are AD groups mapped to Ignition roles?

  • How can I login in the perspective session ?
