In the third tab (Excluded Members) you can choose which items should be excluded. The desired item can be selected on the left and moved to the right by using the arrow buttons. All items placed in the right box will be excluded and not part of this specific security group.

Edit a security group

To edit a security group you can be click on the desired security group in the list view. Alternatively, the security group can be edited by clicking on Actions -> Edit. This will open a new window where the pre-filled properties can be edited.
