Basics
usermod is a command for modifying users on a Linux system.
- manpage for this system
How To
Assign a user to an additional (non-primary) group:
usermod -a -G <groupname> <username>
Note that if you are adding yourself to another group, the new membership will not take effect unless you log in again (even if you open a new terminal session). To do this without logging out of your GUI session, use sudo login <your username> (not sure the last parameter is required).
