What information is contained in the local SAM in an Active Directory network

I'm curious in an enterprise network running Windows, what information is available in the SAM of a standard user's endpoint machine?

I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong) that when logging in to a network managed by AD that an endpoint user will authenticate by way of Kerberos with the DC and the domain account database is stored on the DC. While an endpoint user will not have access to the SAM on their local machine due to some sort of security policy, a SAM exists, so I'm wondering what is actually stored in it?
