There is no single answer, unless you are working with givens that you haven't shared in the question. One person could move such a mass under a few situations. If the mass is in the shape of a wheel with a smoothe surface and it is placed in a curved seating and lubricated with oil at high pressure, a person could turn it in place. If the weight is on a flat surface on a cart with perfect wheels and perfect bearings, a person could lean into the object and move it. The task would be downright easy in outer space, if the person were between the [stationary] mass and a much larger space vessel. The object would offer resistance in keeping with its inertia, but very little effort would get the object to move. Unless you've planned ahead, getting it back might be a problem.

It would take effort equivalent to the force exerted by a single individual to push one metric ton. The number of people needed depends on how the weight is distributed and the friction present.
