If you would, because I cannot access them online.

You might think it works, but it probably doesn't fully. It is
undoubtedly using idmap-sss, this was removed from Samba a few years ago.
There is absolutely no point in using sssd with Samba, mainly because of
two things. Samba does more than sssd and no one, not even Red-Hat,
supports using sssd:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/deploying_different_types_of_servers/assembly_using-samba-as-a-server_deploying-different-types-of-servers
Where it states quite clearly:
'''
Important
Red Hat only supports running Samba as a server with the winbindd
service to provide domain users and groups to the local system.
Due to certain limitations, such as missing Windows access control list
(ACL) support and NT LAN Manager (NTLM) fallback, SSSD is not supported.
'''
Samba does not produce sssd, so cannot provide support for it. I cannot
recommend using anything with Samba that is outside the Samba tree,
there was Openchange, Samba made an internal change and it stopped
working, a similar thing could happen with idmap-sss (not saying it
will, but it could) and then where are you ?
So, please stop using sssd with Samba, use winbind instead. If you do
continue using sssd with Samba, then you are on your own, for, as I
said, samba does not produce sssd, so Samba cannot provide support for it.
All of the above is my opinion, your may vary.
