I must not have understood what you were asking then either. :)

It sounded to me that you were planning to build some sort of tool using the
LDAP protocol and the bind function to bind to AD to verify a user's
credentials. It also sounded like you asked whether you need to create a
separate account for this and what permissions it needs to query the
database.

Essentially, what I was saying is that you don't need to query anything to
do a bind to verify credentials. So, my question was why you thought you
might need a separate account or a query.
