"You can see what groups you are in using the id command:

$ id testacc
uid=1089(testacc) gid=1096(testacc) groups=1096(testacc)

the dscl utility can be used to add users to groups:

$ dscl . append /Groups/admin GroupMembership username

where username is the user short name of the user you wish to add to the particular group."
