    This would be hugely beneficial. Agencies often need to add employee or client logins to websites for management purposes. Should the employee leave, you need to remove their access. This is very cumbersome when done manually. Other solutions like ManageWP offer this functionality and it is very helpful. Please consider adding this to make the Hub more usable for mid-larger sized management needs.

    +1 for this — specifically because the Reseller system (thankfully) allows the user to be given a non-admin role when creating a site. This is great, since I can give people an editor role more suited to the access they need for normal content maintenance, but if I get hit by a meteor someday I want them to be able to log into the Hub and create an admin account for whoever takes over maintaining the site. At the moment I manually create an admin account for them with a different email and tell them to keep it on file in case they ever need admin access, but then the credentials just end up floating around in people’s email inboxes and it’s not exactly ideal to have random unused admin accounts on the site anyway. If the Hub is considered secure enough to SSO into phpmyadmin then it should be considered a secure enough place from which to create a new user, and this would be much more client-friendly than hoping they can find the admin credentials many years from now if they should need them. Obviously though this should be something that we can enable/disable in the client role permissions.
