What OS are you using? From your question I'm not sure about what exactly you are trying to change.
If it's permissions on files - check out the man page on chmod
If it's owner of files - check out the man page on chown
If it's for when a user creates new files - check out umask
If it's for accessing different directories - check out the group file (possibly in /etc) or in NIS ypcat group.
If you are using NIS then you need to change a user's group via the Master NIS server.
If you don't know how userconf works, check the man page ( try from the % or $ prompt
% man userconf
And do not post questions twice!!
