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.
