Hi Curtis,
two different solutions come to mind.
You could wrap your user creation in a stored procedure that does all the
heavy lifting: create the user and perform the additional functions
Or, you could set up an event which runs regularly, checks if new users
have been added, and if that is the case runs aforementioned functions.
Hope that helps!

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong venue; please point me in a more correct direction if that's the case.
I want to perform some extra database functions when a new user is created in our MariaDB installation. What I am learning though is that I can't CREATE TRIGGERs against system tables like the user table in the mysql database.
I am using MariaDB v10.1.24 in an Ubuntu 16.04.2 environment
Have others run across a similar situation? Are there techniques to work around this? One thought I had was to enable general query log and either monitor the file output or TRIGGER on the general_log table. Are there any better suggestions? Thanks in advance.
