Your command is correct when adding a new user and assigning them to the
dialout group as their primary group.
(and may work to add that user to a new group as well but I have never
tried that)
The command on the page noted is correct for adding a user to a group when
that user already exists.
Look at the man page for *usermod* and see what it says.
--------------------------------
NAME
usermod - modify a user account
SYNOPSIS
usermod [options] LOGIN
DESCRIPTION
The usermod command modifies the system account files.
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the usermod command are:
-a, --append
Add the user to the supplementary group(s). Use only with the -G
option.
-G, --groups GROUP1[,GROUP2,...[,GROUPN]]]
A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member
of. Each group is separated from the next by a comma, with no
intervening whitespace. The groups must exist.
If the user is currently a member of a group which is not
listed, the user will be removed from the group. This behaviour can
be changed via the -a option, which appends the user to the
current supplementary group list.
