View the groups a Linux user is a member of
To view the groups that a Linux user is a member of, the command you need to use is the groups command. An example of this is below, the example would show use which groups the user1 user is a member off
groups user1
The above command will produce an output along the lines of the following.
user1 : group1 group2
