For this task we'll use the usermod command. From the manual page, modifies a user account. In the following example we add the user embryo to the group vboxusers (you have to be root in order to use usermod):
usermod -a -G vboxusers embryo
Notice that you can also add the user to several groups in one command:
usermod -a -G group0 group1 group2 embryo
Which will add user embryo to groups group0, group1 and group2.
The -a switch is used only with -G and means 'append the user to supplemental groups'. The -G switch specifies a list of supplemental groups to add the user to.Source URL: https://ashesgarrett.blogspot.com/2009/05/tip-of-day-add-existing-user-to.html
