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.

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

Hi,
check this article where a list of users are fetched from CQ.
You can use the same concept but modify it to fetch groups instead.
