Some more information from Piers if we want to make it work with SAML
authentication as well (a number of these things are important for
http://wikieducator.org/LMS-MyPortfolio_Interoperability_Project and
will be looked at when architecting that).

For the auto creation of accounts to work effectively with SAML, several
things need to happen:
* when logged in via SAML and no account exists, users need to be guided
through the signup process, with pre-populated values from the SAML
assertions - on completion of registration, the SAML auth, and Mahara
accounts are linked.
* for existing users - a login-link process needs to built where when a
user logs in with via SAML, and there is no linked account, they are
prompted to login manually, and then asked if they wish to make the
association between the two accounts.
* inorder to make the above work, there are likely to be some core
changes to the Mahara login process as well as the SAML auth plugin.

Title:
  Ignore duplicates in CSV upload

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When an institution wants to upload their users via a csv file, but
  some of their users already have a Mahara account, i.e. the email
  address already exists in Mahara, an error message is returned and no
  new user accounts are created.

  Instead, only these duplicates should be ignored and all other
  accounts should be created. Thus, when a csv file is uploaded and
  existing accounts / email addresses are encountered, convert the error
  message into a warning that is printed to the screen and keep going
  with the account creation.
