Using SAML to create user - add to /home/users/community

Question

We are using SAML to auto-create users in AEM when they log in. Its working fine but the user is getting created in /home/users/* but we would like them to get added to /home/users/community/* so they get all the correct ACL permissions.

Right now users can't edit their profiles (blank screen) when created via saml but if they are created using the default AEM login component they are created in /home/users/community and have the right permissions to edit profiles.

Looks like a limitation in AEM, here's my response from the ticket:

"This is not a bug but an implementation limitation. SAML configuration only allows to auto create a user under /home/users, however, it does not have an option to specify a custom path for users placeholder.

OOTB there, not any suitable workaround, you can possibly implement some listener that can move created users to /home/users/community or even create a workflow that can be triggered to move users.

I'll log an enhancement for future releases."
