A Security Group targeting item allows a preference item to be applied to computers or users only if the processing computer or user is a member of the group specified in the targeting item and optionally only if the specified group is the primary group for the processing computer or user. If Is Not is selected, it allows the preference item to be applied only if the processing computer or user is not a member of the group specified in the targeting item and optionally only if the specified group is not the primary group for the processing computer or user.

Additional considerations
- Security Group targeting items use the
group's security identifier to determine group membership and not
the display name of the group.
- To reposition a targeting item within the
list of targeting items that you have applied to a preference item,
either drag the targeting item to a new position, or select the
targeting item and then click the Move Up arrow or Move
Down arrow.
- Preference items are available only in
domain-based GPOs.
