For one example:
This opens up a point of possible access to the system in which its
integrity could be jeopardized. What all the implications are of this is
out of scope for this thread.

But back on topic... The admin should be alerted to user/group deletions
from their system or should be advised that the user/group is going to
be left behind & will be unused.
