SNMP service security tab is missing - Windows Server 2012 R2 - DC

You need to install the SNMP Tools feature to get those tab pages, e.g. using the Powershell command Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-SNMP.

Remember to restart the service manager before opening the properties page again.

You need to open the services.msc from an elevated command line window (run as admin). Then you'll get the security tab!

Workaround: I fixed this via Registry

I found this site for config via registry:

Dysan, IT Library blog, 2010-01-28, How to: Set SNMP settings through registry

I set up PermittedManagers and ValidCommunities, and now it seems to work for me!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers

REG_SZ

Value name: 1

Value data: (IP address of monitoring server)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCommunities

REG_DWORD

Value Data: 4

Value Name: (community string)

(But if anyone has a hint why I can't see the Security tab under Properties I would be grateful anyway!)
