Hi

Agreeing with Scott.

You need to write sling servlet and use User manager APIto get User/Group info.

Try using xtype="authselection" in your dialog if this is not what you want then you can use the curl to get the results

One way you can perform this requirement is to write a sling servlet and get the user/group information you need via the Jackrabbit User Manager API. 

https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.2/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/security/user/UserManager.html

Then you can use the return value of the sling servlet to populate a dialog dropdown. See this AEM community article:
