You can get the WindowsUserName of the current logged on user and check if they are member of a specific Active Directory group and set the visibility of certain controls if they are authorized.

Here's some example code to let you do that:

using AxiomCore2.Client;
using AxiomCore2.ControlProperties;
using AxiomCore2.Controls;
using AxiomCore2.Data;
using AxiomCore2.Events;
using AxiomCore2.Legacy;
using AxiomCore2.Log;
using AxiomCore2.Managers;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Drawing;
using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;

namespace AxiomScript
{
    public partial class ScreenScript : IDisposable
    {
        // axiom references
        public ControlApplication Application { get; } = ControlApplication.Instance;
        public ControlFactoryManager ControlFactory { get; } = ControlFactoryManager.Instance;
        public IDataProvider DataProvider { get; } = DataProviderManager.CreateInstance();
        public ILog Log { get; } = ClientLog.UserScript;
        public NavigationManager Navigation { get; } = NavigationManager.Instance;
        public ControlScreen Screen => _screen;

        public void OnScreenVisible()
        {
            // get arguments used to create the application
            var args = (AxiomCore2.SerializableSandboxArgs)ClientInfo.Instance.GetType().GetField("_sandboxArgs",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(ClientInfo.Instance);

            // get the WindowsUserName property
            var userName = args.WindowsUserName;

            // check if the user is member of a specific Active Directory group
            var authorized = IsUserInGroup(userName, "CanaryAdministrators");

            // set the visibility of certain controls if the user is authorized
            SetControlsVisibility(authorized);

            Log.Info($"User: {userName} Authorized: {authorized}");
        }

        public void OnScreenInvisible()
        {
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
        }

        public void SetControlsVisibility(bool authorized){
            Label2.IsVisible = authorized;
            ValueBox2.IsVisible = authorized;
        }

        public static bool IsUserInGroup(string userName, string groupName)
        {
            // based on example on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/76893395/10188134
            try
            {
                using (PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
                {
                    var gp = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, groupName);
                    var up = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, userName);

                    if (gp == null || up == null) {
                        return false;
                    }

                    DirectoryEntry user = new DirectoryEntry($"LDAP://{up.DistinguishedName}");
                    DirectorySearcher mySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(user)
                    {
                        SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree,
                        Filter = $"(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:={gp.DistinguishedName})"  // takes also subgroups
                    };

                    return !(mySearcher.FindOne() == null);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
}
