Learn Users/ groups behaviour

[murpjack]

A ticket to put thoughts and questions against.

• Should we handle creation of a users/groups/permission?
• What are best-practices?
• How is this behaviour commonly handled in a Rust app?

let user = get_user("green_shark");
if ( exists(user) ) {
    if has_required_permissions  { 
         // All is good...
    } else {
         // Should privileges be updated?
         //  Or Error? or user removed and recreated?
    } 
} else {
    // create_privileged_user()
}

^^^^ See above a thought on privileged user creation flow ^^^^

I don't believe we need to concern ourselves with this. Refer to my comment on issue #2
