# Domain user

The Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing Master and Client components are installed on a server belonging to an Active Directory domain. Therefore, upon user login, the Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing Client/Master validates the username and password against the Active Directory domain.

Security rules for password definition and expiration are inherited from the Active Directory settings.

Since D365 F&SCM users belong to the Azure Active Directory instead, by standard, it would be necessary to manage Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing users as an additional list of users out of D365 F&SCM.

Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing provides the capability to integrate the authentication of Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing users with D365 F&SCM by assigning the relevant Active Directory domain to the D365 F&SCM user, thus ensuring the possibility of maintaining a single list of users in D365 F&SCM. The link is obtained via the **Dispensing user** field in the **Account** FastTab in the **User options** form (**System administration > Users > Users > User > User options**). The **Dispensing user** field should be populated **Active Directory domain\Active directory username**.

The access level and permissions are determined by the [security roles](/life-sciences/docs/weighing-and-dispensing-security) assigned to the relevant D365 F&SCM user.
