Hi, all. I’ve just launched a new WordPress website using the excellent [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin for SSO and discussion.

Everything is working smoothly, but I’ve had to import a lot of user accounts from the client’s previous website. These users haven’t all logged in to the new website yet, but the client has asked whether they can be added to the Discourse forum as users, before logging in for the first time and generating their account via the SSO process.

Is it possible to create these accounts on Discourse without having the users login to WordPress and go through the SSO process?
