Automate Resources workspace actions on user creation/change

[andy.matthews]

At present we have around 100 professional licences for PLM360 which we allocate to to key users within our workforce of 200.

Ocassionaly we need to involve someone who doesn't have a licence in a workflow (to appear in a drop-down list, or recieve a notification email for example). We accomplish this by creating all of our 200 staff in the Resources workspace. This includes all the staff that exist as users (100) and all those that don't (100).

We use a flag on the Resource item to indicate whether that Resource exists as a PLM user or not, and to populate data from the user (first name, last name, job title etc). At present we have to:

1. Create the user

2. Create the corresponding Resource and set the flag to indicate it's a User

It would be good if the User creation process could be modified to allow for a post-creation action that would go to the Resources workspace and make this change automatically.

Similarly, it would be good if the user modification process could be modified to allow for a post-edit action that would go to the Resources workspace and make correpsonding changes (e.g. a change of job title or surname); or to delete/de-activate the corresponding Resource item for a user that's been deleted.
