      Summary

      1. If a user already exists and you try to create another user with the same email address it fails without showing an error.
      2. If a user already exists and you try to create another user with the same email address though bulk create, it shows maxResults must be positive error.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a user on an instance with < 3 users
      2. Try to create another user with the same email address

      Expected Results

      An error is thrown saying that email address is already taken.

      Actual Results

      No error is thrown at all.
      If the user is added through bulk create, error maxResults must be positive is shown.

      Notes

      This is exacerbated by an 'inactive' user that doesn't appear on the list by default.
      Suggest the error message to be meaningful, eg : The user already exists

      Workaround

      Create a user with a different email address or remove the original user.

            [ID-6178] Creating a user that already exists via quick add does not throw error

            I have this issue, however the workaround of removing the user doesn't work for me. I cannot see the user in the User Management list.

            Is there a way to tell Bulk create function to just ignore already existing users and create new ones from the list?
