Please note that it can take up to an hour to update the domain list with newly added two-way trusted domains.

2. In the Group or Username field, enter the the Active Directory group or user you want to add. To refine the search results and improve the search performance in case of large deployments, it is recommended to select the user type from the User Type drop-down.
