Hi Gayane,

In CQ you can retrieve groups by calling

out.print("<select>"); Iterator<Group> groups = resolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class).getGroups(); while(groups.hasNext()) { Group group = groups.next(); out.print("<option>" + group.getName() + "</option>"); } out.print("</select>");

Later in your code your could iterate through the Groups to display the neccessary information in your dropdown. resolver variable is ResourceResolver with admin permissions

Usefull links:

If you are doing this is a dialog and you want to save a reference to the group you can also make use of the authselector xtype with the displayField property set to principle and the filter property set to groups.
