You agreed not to bump posts when you registered here. If you don't get an answer immediately, wait -- nobody here is "on call".
Supplementary groups are extra groups a user belongs to, as stored in /etc/passwd. Users also have one and only one primary group. It's a bit redundant; I think it's for historical reasons.
You create a group with groupadd groupname.
You assign supplementary groups to a user with usermod -G group1,group2,... username Beware that this replaces their supplementary groups, not adds to them. Most Linux supports the -a flag though, which lets you add to their list of groups instead.

NAME
squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper
SYNOPSIS
squid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p] [-s]
DESCRIPTION
This helper allows Squid to base access controls on users memberships in UNIX groups.
-g groupname
Specifies a group name to match.
-p Also match the users primary group from /etc/passwd
-s Strip NT domain name component from user names (/ or separated)
EXAMPLES
This squid.conf example defines two Squid acls. usergroup1 matches users in group1, and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3
external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_unix_group -p
acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1
acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3
NOTES
By default up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including commandline specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the
source code.

must specify each alias by name.
