Can't find access_bpf group after installation

Hi, based on installation step below my question is why after installation of ChmodBPF I couldn't find the access_bpf name in /etc/group . ? Thank you. MacOs Monterey 12.4

Package Installation Details The ChmodBPF installer writes to the following locations: /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.wireshark.ChmodBPF.plist. A launch daemon that adjusts permissions on the system’s packet capture devices (/dev/bpf) when the system starts up. /Library/Application Support/Wireshark/ChmodBPF. A copy of the launch daemon property list, and the script that the launch daemon runs. The installer group named “access_bpf” is created. The user who opened the package is added to the group.* The system path installer writes to the following locations: /etc/paths.d/Wireshark. The folder name in this file is automatically added to PATH /etc/manpaths.d/Wireshark. The folder name in this file is used by the man command. It assumes that Wireshark is installed in /Applications.
