consider /etc/default/useradd;

  # useradd defaults file
  GROUP=100,20,63,1010,2020
  HOME=/home
  INACTIVE=-1
  EXPIRE=
  SHELL=/bin/bash
  SKEL=/etc/skel
  CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=yes

also, you may want to make changes to;

 /etc/skel/.bash_profile and /etc/skel/.bashrc

to reflect additions for the special groups. ie, "PATH=", "ENV=", alias's,
startup progs, etc...
