Hi Guys,
I'm trying to assign Active Directory Security Group as a member in a server role that i created.
but when i'm open my Object types, i don't have groups option available, only Logins and Server roles.
maybe the solution is to create login that is base on active directory security group, but i tried to find how to do it and failed.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

    Hi @bababalush ,

    You can create SQL login for AD group as below screenshot from SSMS UI. Right click Logins > New login
