SUMMARY

It would be very handful to be able to have a script run when a user is create or deleted. As there are a lot of actions potentially triggered by the actions, it make a simple and easy way to perform these and integrate into organization.

EXPECTED RESULT
Depending if add and delete scripts are separate options or not, have a script run like:

`/path/to/script [add|delete]  <user form fields as parameters>

when a user is added or deleted.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
See Debian's `adduser` (https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/adduser/adduser.8.en.html ) for a similar feature with the `/usr/local/sbin/adduser.local` file, and `deluser` (https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/adduser/deluser.8.en.html) with `/usr/local/sbin/deluser.local` file.

Thanks in advance for your consideration

This is out of scope at a KDE level.
