--scripts is helpful, the following returns a great deal of package scripts having to do with users and groups, but ideally would return just the package names involved in creating the user or group.
rpm -qa --scripts | egrep 'user|group|id\s|getent|pass'
rpm -qa --scripts | less does not seem to list any package names, but may be a more formal rpm would help:
rpm --queryformat "%{FILEUSERNAME} %{TRIGGERSCRIPTS} %{TRIGGERSCRIPTPROG}\n" --query httpd
does not return a script name and i do not see anything else in rpm --querytags that would help.
Has to be a way, but not today.

Given a particular user or particular group, is there a rpm command that returns what package created that particular user or particular group?
Analogous to `rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/security/limits.conf` returns
the
package "pam". Is there an rpm command that returns what package generated a particular user?
Most of us already know that the httpd package is associated with the
user
apache. But there are passwd and group entries that i would like to
verify
and want to know exactly how they got on my system. Further i would like to know which the security implications of adding another group to a user account.
Something like the following command: `rpm --query --user apache` would return "httpd" `rpm --query --group pulse-access` might return pulseaudio
take a look at the pre/post-script parts of the rpms
rpm -q --scripts httpd
other users/groups are "installed" via centos setup (anaconda).
