[Morten Olav Hansen <mortenoh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just wanted to mention that we are now planing to add this functionality to
2.16, it will work as /api/users today (allows creating one user with
password etc), but will support bulk import of users + passwords through
our meta-data import (/api/metadata), there will be no export of passwords,
but we will allow creating of users with password, and also updating, you
can send passwords as plaintext, and it will be hashed on the server
(please use https for this)
