Add WordPress users to a custom post type

Question

I have created a custom post type called Groups. I would like to provide an option to add Users to these groups in the Group edit page. Any help would be appreciated thank you. P.S: I thought of using the Post-to-Post plugin but I am not sure if that would be the right solution.

  $field['choices'][0] = "Select User";
  foreach($blogusers as $user){

            $field['choices'][ $user->ID ] = $user->display_name;
    }
    // return the field
    return $field;
