Just simply use an Active Directory authentication profile in Ignition. We do role based security so you can lock down sections of your project to different roles. The roles in Active Directory are the groups. If you don’t want to use the groups in Active Directory we have hybrid profiles where you can store the roles in a database or Ignition.
