             Summary: Allow to spot User.disable with a new, dedicated UserAction
                 Key: OAK-7900
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-7900
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: security-spi
            Reporter: angela


[~chaotic], as discussed off list we lack the ability to react to {{User.disable(String)}} with the current {{AuthorizableAction}} interface, while at the same time encouraging API consumers to disable users instead of removing them.

One use case for such a method would be deleting additional information stored with the user account such as e.g. profile data, preferences, as soon as the user gets disabled.

Since extending {{AuthorizableAction}} would require a major bump of the exported version, I would suggest to introduce a new {{UserAction}} interface, providing that new method, in correspondance to {{GroupAction}}, which covers group specific actions. And, in an ideal world {{AuthorizableAction.onPasswordChange}} would also reside with {{UserAction}}.

[~stillalex], wdyt?
