+Name: Abc Xyz
+Email: abc.xyz@example.com
+UserID: abc_xyz
+Department: IT
+Groups: Network Team, Application Support, Database Admins
+
+Working:
+
+Script reads each line from email body.
+Extracts values for each field (Name, Email, etc.) using regex.
+Checks if the user exists → if not, creates it.
+Adds the user to the given list of groups.
