Interestingly, it appears that accountsservice has a build-time option
to enable extra admin groups (extra_admin_groups), but the version in
focal (0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.4) has a debian patch that ignores it.
That patch was recently reworked to not ignore the option:
https://salsa.debian.org/freedesktop-
team/accountsservice/-/commit/b1724af16828c08543cfae167daad46269051028.
This would require version 0.6.55-2.

Title:
  Adding an admin user a Gnome Control Center should set the right
  groups

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently when installing Ubuntu , the default admin belongs to
  several essential groups :

  adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin lxd sambashare

  
  But when adding a user from GCC , the new admin user will only belong to : 

  
  sudo 

  
  This leads that the second admin cannot add printers and so on...

  This is observed on a clean 20.04.3 install
