Comment:

 Part B also works for me, although I recommend we call the second button
 "Create User" for clarity. Attaching a minor patch ```create user.diff```
 to do this.

 '''Suggestion One:''' I wonder if the current screen couldn't be
 refactored though. Why do we need two areas? The more fields the more of a
 headache we're potentially causing users... could we have just one form
 and intelligently work out if we need to add or create ''and'' add the
 user.

 '''Suggestion Two:''' If we want to keep the two form structure, then when
 someone mistakenly enters values in the "Create" section rather than the
 "Add" section should we (a) guess they want to add a user and just do it
 (assuming we have a user who matches both username ''and'' email), or
 should we add an error message with a button explaining that we think they
 meant to add a user, not create one, with these details and offering an
 "Add this user" button?
