What command line did you use? A user can only have one primary group
(-g), but can be in multiple groups (-G).

     -g group      Set the account's primary group to the given group.  group
           may be defined by either its name or group number.

     -G grouplist  Set additional group memberships for an account.  grouplist
           is a comma, space or tab-separated list of group names or
           group numbers.  The user's name is added to the group lists
           in /etc/group, and removed from any groups not specified in
           grouplist.  Note: a user should not be added to their pri‐
           mary group with grouplist.  Also, group membership changes
           do not take effect for current user login sessions, requir‐
           ing the user to reconnect to be affected by the changes.
