There's no ground pin. It's just a switch. It really depends on what you want to do with it.

The swich you've described is a single-pole-double-throw(SPDT) switch. Say it has pins 1, 2, and 3. Pin 2 is the common pin. When the switch is in one position, pins 1 and 2 are electrically connected and pins 2 and 3 are electrically open, when the switch is in the other position pins 2 and 3 are connected and pins 1 and 2 are electrically closed. That's it. Just a switch.
