This isn't a VNC issue, but I can still offer some insight. :)

The reason is that changes to group memberships are not immediate in
the Unix world. The appropriate groups for a user is fetched on login
and stored within the process. That list will then stay static for the
lifetime of that login.

In other words, to add or remove groups from a user, said user needs to
log out and in again.

A tip is to run just "id". That will show you the current, active list
of groups. Doing "id USER" will do a new lookup and would be the list
of groups on the next login, not the current.
