Comment (by johnbillion):

 @flixos90 Thanks for the suggestion! But... I don't think I agree with
 what you said. The current proposal operates within the context of the
 site, meaning the users' current roles are shown in the All Network Users
 list. If you place this functionality in the network users screen, and
 therefore change the context, it's not possible to determine ahead of time
 whether a given user or users are a member of the target site, and what
 their role is, because you're not operating within the context of a site.

 I originally shared your concern about the All Network Users tab not
 fitting into the  "Roles" filters, but after using it on and off on a few
 projects I've come to really like it. I don't find it out of place, and I
 would favour including it as an available filter on the Users screen in
 the site's regular admin area too, in addition to the Sites screen when
 editing a site from network admin.

 The only potential benefit of being able to assign users to a site from
 the Network Admin -> Users screen is it could allow you to bulk manage the
 sites that a user or users are assigned to, but that would require some
 custom UI controls which have not yet been successfully implemented in
 core, eg a Select2 control. I think that is separate from the problem I'm
 trying to solve here, and I'd definitely be interested in solving that but
 in another ticket.
