I did add administrator. Actually Administrator as you point out.
W/o the AllowGroups I can ssh using either administrator or
Administrator. Ssh doesn't care. I did try logging in as
Administrator though.
Just for grins, I added wess to the group ssh_allow and tried logging
in before / after uncommenting AllowGroups. Can not log in when
AllowGroups is uncommented.
