The problem is not the manual creation of users or by CSV but when a
Leap2A file is imported or an external auth is used. When an admin
uploads a Leap2A file, the DB doesn't check if the email address already
exists in the system. Nor are email addresses checked when SAML or MNet
are connected.

An admin interface alone would not solve the problem because an admin is
not involved when a user connects via SAML forgetting that thy already
have an account just with a different auth method.

Title:
  LEAP2 import does not check if the new user email is already used in
  Mahara

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When importing a LEAP2 zip  into a 1.5 Mahara site (latest   1.5.0dev
  from git) and if the new user email is already known, importation
  proceeds  normally  but the mahara site then starts to fail in various
  places (search friends, see groups members) ...

  It is also impossible to delete that user under site administration
  since getting that user data fails with the above error...

  To return site to 'normal operation' one has to go to table usr and
  manually edit the new user email to an unique value

  Cheers.

  Edit : I did not tested it yet, but I do hope that this behaviour does
  not occur also in importing users from a CSV file ;-)
