Are you talking about Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows?
QSE does not create users at all. All information is provided by the Identity Provider. By default, this is your Windows Server on which QSE was installed.
In the current version of QSE, you cannot sync and use the Windows Local Group.
You can only use Windows AD groups by creating in QMC - User Directory Connector new connection to Windows AD or by using another IDP that supports user groups.

Helo @AB12

can you describe better what are your trying to achive ?

Standard deployments for controlling which apps users have access to would be:

1. Apps in stream and control stream access by custom property.

in this case, custom property is assigned to stream and user and your security rule would be
user.@Stream_value=resource.@Stream_value

with this you dont need to control access by userid, automaticaly, the user that matches the stream will have access to it

2. Control access by apps

Same approach, but custom property is assigned to app and user. In this case, your security rule should looks like
user.@App_type=resource.@App_type

with this you dont need to control access by userid, automaticaly, the user that matches the app_type will have access to it

3. another approach could be to use the the groups from your LDAP
for this i dont have an example, but you can take a look here
