Add a NIS group to a local user

[Raul del Castillo_1]

Hi,
I am trying to add a NIS group to a local user and it is impossible for me. I can not create the group as local, because the system rejects ( "is not unique") , but I do not know how to specify that group is NIS. I have tried using sam and groupadd command. I do not mind to create another local group with different group id than NIS one.
Thank you
