Is there any way I can expand user.yaml over a pluign?

> **[User blueprint](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/blueprints/user)**
>
> User blueprints are located in /site/blueprints/users and control the Panel setup, form fields and permissions for a user role.

I want to add some fields to all user if a plugin is in use.

Best regards

You cannot overwrite a given blueprint defined in the site/blueprints folder by defining them in a plugin. It works the other way round: A blueprint defined in a plugin is overwritten by a blueprint of the same type and name in the site/blueprints folder.
