Nope, it doesn't.

It's not quite that easy - you have to mangle one user at a time, and
user creation is it's own command.

I'd say it is. It could be better, but it's there. I generally wind up
running a shell loop:

for u in $DEVS ADMINS $READERS
do
  # create user name from company mail address, password is PW<name>.
  fs new $u $u...@company.com PW$u -R $REPO
done

for dev in $DEVS
do
  # Set up developers
  fs cap $dev v -R $REPO
done

Setting up new users in mass doesn't make a lot of sense - you
probably want to set contact information and passwords separately
anyway. Setting permissions (capabilities) for a group would be a nice
enhancement.
