Users cannot view imported user's user page. [Patch Attached] [#1338364]

If an imported user has not either logged into their account for the first time, or had user 1 edit and save their account, roles with the 'access user profiles' permission will not be able to view the imported user's profile. By setting the 'access' value in the user table, the profile can be viewed.

function MY_MODULE_uif_post_create($account, $user_data, $form_state) {
  $update['access'] = time();
  $updated = user_save($account, $update);
}

I'm not familiar with the "view user profiles" permission. What module implements it and which version of Drupal?

My bad, that should be the 'access user profiles' permission.

Ok, so core profile module. Here's what user_save() does:

// Consider users created by an administrator as already logged in, so
// anonymous users can view the profile (if allowed).
if (empty($array['access']) && user_access('administer users')) {
  $array['access'] = time();
}

So is the proposal that all users created by uif get access set as well (and not just those created by users with 'administer users' perm)? I guess that makes sense.
