Yes, this is not the right way.

- A staff user is an admin, a mod or both admin and mod.

- To add a user to the staff group you have to promote the user as an admin or mod (or both).  

- After that the staff group will appears in the **Automatic** group for that user. You don’t have to do anything else.

If you do not want to grant admin or mod powers to the users you need to create a custom group (with a different name, “staff” is already taken).
