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

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/accountss ervice/ -/commit/ b1724af16828c08 543cfae167daad4 6269051028. This would require version 0.6.55-2.
