Upgrade 'employee' to user by adding username & password (Admin)

Implementation depends on how this will work with the API.

Question: What does the process look like for attaching a password and role/permissions to an employee object?

Currently, the Admin user creates an Employee. When/if that employee needs the ability to log in and view the list or update their skills, we need to somehow convert / add a user account (password) to that employee so they can log in using their email as their username.

This could be that users register using their email address and set their own password, and it's just a requirement that their email exists, and that's it (no admin involvement required). Or, the admin could create a default password for the user and pass that along before they can log in.

We aren't sure how Auth will work on the API side, so we're not sure what's best / easiest for them to support this kind of integration between employee objects and user accounts. This could be a discussion for the TCP-Java team and us to figure out.

no admin involvement required and using a typical registration process would be ideal. They will need to coordinate with the java team on the auth.
