Creating the list of AD groups is possible only if the server is in domain. Otherwise, you need to add it to the domain or specify the name and the password of the user with access to AD as the values of the parameters /DrWebADAccessor_1.0/Application Settings/ADAccUserName and /DrWebADAccessor_1.0/Application Settings/ADAccPassword respectively using Dr.Web CMS Web Console. By default, the values of these parameters are empty.

You can use Filter field to select the item and remove it, if necessary.

You can select the profile you want to use for the current group in the Profile drop-down list.

When you are done setting up the group parameters, click Save to apply changes.
