As per https://forum.omeka.org/t/omeka-s-csv-import-user-import-sends-emails/14853

Using CSV Import to batch-add users means that users don't get welcome emails with links to set their passwords.
There is no way to manually send this email in the admin side after a batch-add, right? So users don't get notified, and the admin has to go in to each account manually to set a temp password, then email that password manually, so that a user can go in and change it.

One solution would be to give CSV Import the ability to run the email-a-new-user code; another would be to add functionality to send (or re-send) welcome emails from the Users table.
Related, I'm not clear what happens when a password link expires (I will find out on June 25th, if someone doesn't answer before then) but I don't see anything in the admin interface about re-sending emails.

I seem to recall Wordpress has the same issue with not giving you any power over pending accounts (or maybe it's pending followers) who haven't confirmed via email, which is great because emails definitely never get lost or missed.

I confirm this.

And batch-added users are inactive by default, so we have to activate their account and set their password (or ask them to reset their password)
