Yes, when you add a host as a target, you can specify a list of users
that can see it in the web interface and that will receive email about
failures.

The web interface runs under Apache.  BackupPC won't include any
specific AD integration of its own, but if you can configure Apache to
authenticate the users against AD with the names you used in the host
setup, everything should work.   And Apache has a lot of ways to
configure authentication.
