Usually users log in and are added to the eperson list by being authenticated through LDAP. They usually are added with limited access and later as required I manually upgrade their access privileges.
I have a need to batch add a set of users and put them into a specific access group and have them later authenticated with LDAP. I could get the users all to initially login, be authenticated by LDAP and then manually adjust their permissions later. A bit of a drudgery task but I would be happy to do this except that consensus is that this is too onerous for the poor users as they want to log in and get their stuff without delay I know their user ids but not their passwords or details. It would be good to use <dspace>/bin/dspace user --add <whatever> but this won't run unless given a password and is likely to want user details which we want to be obtained from the LDAP server.
