That would require me to start tweaking parts of the UI to allow editing.
So far using Custom Fields appears to be giving adequate performance, and
for what I'm doing feels cleaner than changing lib/RT/User.pm etc

And I still don't think that it would solve this problem, as I would still
need to find a way to add a trigger on user creation that adds them to a
group, as I wish to continue using RT's standard ACL system for controlling
ticket visibility.
