Use a function in your ~/.bashrc with name useradd to do useradd and usermod. See help command.

What Linux are you asking about? Do you also have adduser available? Also, if you want to know how to make this happen by default, you need to mention that in your question, so please edit and explain exactly what you need.

@harrymc I know I can change user after creating or set group during creating, but that's just a question if it's possible to have something defined so that all new users are joined a specific group or not. Without any usermod or user add ... -G test

Are you looking for usermod -a -G group user ?

| Feb 27, 2023 at 18:23 | comment | added | Kamil Maciorowski | "I want to add all of these users to a group called test but I do not want to change the above command." – Please make sure there is no XY problem here. Why cannot you adjust the commands? or use few extra commands? | |

well, you do need to change the command in order to add additional groups. per the man pages, use the -G option to list additional groups eg: useradd -s /bin/bash -m user1 -G test linux.die.net/man/8/useradd
