Normally when you create a user they are also added to a group (their primary group) with the -g switch.
Secondary or supplementary groups are often used so that multiple users can access the same directories. They can also be used to provide access to devices (sound cards, cdroms, etc.).
For example, my home directory is owned by my user account and my primary group - there are no other members of the group that owns my home directory. However, I am also in a developers group (a secondary group) so that I can access the documentation the developers in my area use.
