It probably seems a little silly for a user import module not to import users, but we just want to mass-add existing users to OGs without creating any new ones.

So in a sense we would be importing the OG membership, not the user.

I should add that I know this can be done via username, but we are importing from Mailman lists so will be starting with CSVs of email addresses, not usernames.

The only mass import options I can find for OGs rely on username which requires looking up users one by one, which we are trying to avoid if possible.

Title: Option to not create new users? » Option to not create new users

This seems like a reasonable feature to me. I could see adding a form option:

[ ] Create users if the e-mail is not found

And just turn that on or off to satisfy your goal.

+1 this is a great idea that can solve alot of our problems with organic groups being unwieldy to manage.

I esp liked #2 suggestion by greggles, with that as a separate permission so that only admins can actually create users.
