I need to modify the user 'munfai' by adding it into groups bscs, oinstall, dba.

Why is this, and how do I make the groups available for 'munfai' under the account bscs?
I've read through your post several times and I think that you are confusing the group named 'bscs' with the user 'bscs' which are not the same thing. There's nothing wrong with having a group name the same as a user name but do not confuse them.
Having said that, becoming user 'bscs' is not going to help you see what groups another user is a member of. Any user does not have the rights to see what groups another user is in. Only root can do that.
