admin should not be typing a password for a new user.... therefore:

to close this ticket:

1- add email field to user table (community irods, first/also?)

2- generate an email to new user account with magic token (maybe copies the grid admin) pointing back to this installation of scotty

3- clicking on that token, brings the new user back to the app, prompts for new password twice, then sends email confirmation back to user on success (and invalidates the token) (and maybe copies the admin again)

but we can't depend on email only - what if an irods installation is behind a firewall - or isn't allowed to send email...

we'd need to have an additional manual 'set password' button for each user.
