    <field name="category_id" ref="bms.crm_lead_custom"/>
    <field name="users" eval="[(4, ref('base.user_root'))]"/>
</record>

1 - Go to Setting - Group and add a new group.

2 - Chose the Usability as the name of the application and complete other information.

3 - It's Done ;)

I have an example for you:

You need to set proper category reference for that.

<record id="group_custom_chats" model="res.groups">
    <field name="name">Chatting Options</field>
    <field name="category_id" ref="base.module_category_usability"/>
    <field name="users" eval="[(4, ref('base.user_root'))]"/>
</record>

You can easily find solution by looking how odoo set groups under which category by searching that groups xml definition.

These groups are defined in base module in security/base_security.xml file Multi Companies 

<record model="res.groups" id="group_multi_currency">
   <field name="name">Multi Currencies</field>
</record>

And you can see that the category_id has been updated for these groups are in base/module/module_data.xml

<record model="res.groups" id="group_multi_company">
    <field name="category_id" ref="module_category_usability"/>
</record>

<record model="res.groups" id="group_no_one">
    <field name="category_id" ref="module_category_usability"/>
</record>
