You don't, you run "mkgroup" (with appropriate options according to
whether you're in a domain or not etc.) and redirect the output to
/etc/group. (Or don't, if you want to take a look at what it's going to do
before making any changes).
See the details in the user guide:

and the ntsec documentation for background:
