[User Management] Send new users an email

[LukasReschke]

As an admin, I want to send newly provisioned users an email when their user account is created so that they know how to access their new ownCloud account.

Acceptance Criteria:
This would not include their password, just their username and the URL. The email is sent based on a checkbox next to the create user button in the user panel.
This is for local users only

@owncloud/designers I would add a general option in the lower left settings menu "Send new users a mail". Is this how this also could be implemented or is it a hard fact that the checkbox need to be next to the user input fields. Because we also need to a an input field for the email and the control bar will get really crowded and won't work on too small screens.

I vote yes! :) Wordpress send a email to all the new users without even asking the admin, that´s also a way to do it. In the mail there is both username and password in plain text, maybe that should be an activation-link or something instead?

This is somewhat related; #11682

I agree with @MorrisJobke here – that’s something for the lower-left settings area directly in the user management.

@jancborchardt Regarding that area, is it intended that the choices you make aren´t staying? For example, if I want to show my users last log in time, I check the box. But when I go back to the users page again, it´s unchecked.

[jancborchardt]

@enoch85 no, it should be permanent eventually, but that requires more low-level work. But the first non-permanent fix was needed in the short term to not make the table too wide.

Fixed in all the above PRs
