Allow importing users that have never signed in before / Pull user information from LDAP
Solution
- For import functionality for coordinators, create ghost users (i.e. 'username only users') if the user does not exist.
- Might need Core changes (username only users already exist)
Original Description
Actual issue:
- Allow teacher to specify non-existent users should be created (ghost users)
Original text: When doing an import for e.g. a TA training, users that have never signed in before will not be found. It would be great if the system has a way to handling this such that "it just works".
It is possible to pull data about missing users from LDAP (this is what Project Forum does). Another alternative is to create something like partial users, to which the data will be linked once they sign in for the first time. Both of those solutions sound like something that would benefit all of labrador and could potentially be implemented in labracore.
