You bet.

Using SNAP, adjust the "Default Secondary Groups" that a new member of a
particular group (in this case "users") is a member of.  In your case, you
do not want "users" to be a member of any of the four default groups
(accounts, devices, networks, & operator).  You may wish to create other
groups and have them  be members...

This is fairly well document.  Among other places, try the help-viewer.
Open SNAP, place the cursor over the field you want more info on, and
press the <Help> key.
