In windows server you can create something called active directory users and join those users to the domain you use.

When you try to login to your windows PC at office, unlike home it will ask both for username and password. This is managed by windows server. And when you try to connect to office Wi-Fi, you are asked to enter identity and password. So everyone enter their own identity and password. When you try to access files on office server, some are restricted and other are not restricted. All these are most likely implemented by windows server.
What information can IT admin see, Will they see what I have wrote for my password?
Just like any authentication provider, Windows server also keep its users password encrypted. This mean your IT admin also cannot see what you have entered as password, but they will be able to change your password or disable your password at any time.
When you browse wifi using the credentials of windows server, IT admin will be able to track the network usage. They even might log the websites you are visiting. But they also wont be able to see what your texts or email sent IF YOUR WLAN NETWORK IS ENCRYPTED
