I'm running a free version of Vsphere 6.5 so there's no vcenter.
I've joined the Vsphere to AD however, I'm not able to add any AD users or groups.
When I go to Security & users > users > add user, it does not give me an option to select a domain user.
It only gives me an option to add a local user.
In Vsphere 5.x, using AD users and groups was possible but can't seem to find the settings for it in Vsphere 6.x.
Is there a way in Vsphere 6.5 to add AD users and groups to manage the hypervisor?
When joined to an AD, ESXi grant permissions for ad AD group "ESX Admins".
See e.g. https://arabitnetwork.com/2018/12/05/esxi-security-hardening-change-the-default-esx-admins-ad-group/ for details, and for how to change that group name if needed.

Is there also a way to add an AD group to a locally custom created group?
I have created a local custom group that does not have full admin privileges and would like to add an AD group to it for the non-admin users.
In version 5.x, this was possible by going to Permissions > add permissions > users & groups: add > selecting the domain name from the "Domain:" drop down > lists the AD users and groups.
