Blog admins are allowed to add users to their multisite blog when the "add
new users" network setting is turned on.
Unfortunately this allows them to both add existing users, and create new
users. There should be a way, potentially just with a filter versus an
option, to limit that to only add existing users, and prevent the creation
of new users without going through the public registration process.
Use case: WordPress.com does exactly this.
Alternative use case: WordPress.org uses a pretty crazy SSO setup. We
should not be allowed to create new users through the admin, but it would
be very helpful to allow administrators to add users to a blog without
going through the network admin (or asking a super admin).
Real world use case: Any blogging network like WordPress.com, or crazy
synchronized login system like WordPress.org, would want this.
