No, the bugreport doesn't explain how to make it work for only a group. Only that they are doing it that way.
Why not configure it like this:
chgrp $GROUP /usr/bin/dumpcap
chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap
setcap cap_net_raw=ep /usr/bin/dumpcap
Now all members of group $GROUP may capture packets. I'm using "wheel"
here.
The only annoyance is that the capabilities are reset whenever
wireshark is updated.
