You can also use lid to find which users are in a group or which groups a user is in:

lid username
lid -g groupname

I’ve updated the “variations” list. Thanks!

That outputs just a straight space-delimited listing of all your groups (without the group ID, however).

Mind you, never had a situation where i’d need to know my userid or my group. Its always be my name or root, and the groups was always users.
