There's no problem created by assigning a to multiple groups. In fact,
that's the normal procedure. Permissions to individual shares are
assigned to specific groups, and then users are added to, or removed
from, only those groups necessary to grant them the access needed,
without having to grant them access to everything.
I should point out, however, that granting anyone but the Network
Administrator admin permissions to a server is normally very unwise.
Are the users you're adding to this group qualified and trustworthy?
