how to new create and ID with tie to few groups and with expiry?

You can create an user with -g primary group and -G secondary group option to tie to few groups and you can do useradd -D -e 30 to expire it after 30 days.

# useradd -u uid -g primary-group -G sec-group1,sec-group2 -d home-dir user1

# useradd -D -e 30 --> to expire it after 30 days

or u can use

# usermod -e 30 to expire it after 30 days

Thanks,
