It is possible for these to be seperate.

The problem is the lack of an event notification when they are not.

This is not really a big issue, unless you are adding one user at
a time, since an administrative task of adding a bunch of users
should be terminated by the asmin doing the make (it doesn't make
sense to do it 1000 times after adding 1000 users.
