A default user in Ubuntu is assigned to several groups during install.  
Ubuntu permissions can be a hodgepodge of Group permissions, policykit 
and policykit-2, so it's hard to guess what will have adverse effects.  
Unfortunately, my current desktop is not Ubuntu, so I can't verify, but 
as of the last LTS, the default user is also a member of the following 
groups:

username (this is the same as your actual username)
adm
dialout
cdrom
plugdev
lpadmin
admin (you should laready have this one restored)
sambashare
