var currentUserName = person.properties.userName;   //currentUserName is currents used id

var currentPerson = people.getPerson(currentUserName);   //currentUserName can be replaced by userid
var groups = people.getContainerGroups(currentPerson);

Then you can iterate groups and use any nethod of groups(Refer)
for(var i=0;i<groups.length;i++)
{
   logger.log("User Group in loop "+groups.getFullName());
}
