Add hook on network admin user forms

[bueltge]

On WP 3.0 it is possible to add new users as Super Admin, but they do not really assign each instance. So it would be useful when creating the user, if you have a selection of instances that are created and then selecting one with the checkbox where the user should get access.

Maybe it is possible to add a hook for add own fields, similar the possibilies on user-edit.php for profile fields.

Is this still in 3.0?

If it is, I'll give it a shot today, otherwise, someone update the milestone.

I am honestly not sure what you mean by assigning instances.

We will be doing a general overhaul of the MS UI in a future release, so I doubt we will want to add a hook for which we must remain entirely backwards compatible in the future. Going to move to future for now.

Related #18709, in which the user_new_form action was added for additional user fields in single site.

The example in this ticket description mentions "instances", which I read as new sites. One possible use case of a hook in the new user form is to provide a method for adding a new (or existing) user to multiple sites.

It's possible that we still want to let this ride for a while until a newer UI is imagined, but I do agree on the usefulness of a hook here.

Replying to jeremyfelt:

I don't know about a new UI, no timeline. Give it more information about the new UI and when will go live?

The hook is important for a lot of enterprise solutions and actually create a lot of developers not clean enhancements, because she miss this hook. I will address for this hook, there is useful for a lot of scenarios.

But I understand the statement, because we have markup inside the function and maybe this is a topic on a new UI.
