Thanks for the request RedEight, I totally agree on integrating rules with the module. It definitely gives a leg up on the overall functionality of the module. Meanwhile, I was testing to pull through the user obj into the actions section and was able to get them show in GUI.You can switch it between either current_user or user for variables under the rules_event_info. I have included the patch, hope it can help you in any way with what you're trying to achieve.
