I removed a user from an LDAP group about a week ago. Today, this user still shows as member of the group with the Linux command groups. Also, the group (Administrators) appears twice in the output of the command id: uid=10000(username) gid=10000(Administrators) groups=10001(users),10005(devel),10011(video),10015(ansible),10000(Administrators)

The command getent though shows the proper group assignation: getent group | grep username | cut -d: -f1 users devel video ansible

All of those groups are LDAP group.

Is this from a long running shell? If so, start a new shell or run newgrp.

Otherwise, verify that it is not cached (such as with nscd), and trouble shoot as an nss ldap problem.
