User Management	Maura Byrne	Maura Byrne	The UM-SIG got to see some mockups of how the UI would change if "required" fields were changed to "recommended" fields. This would solve a problem where users can be loaded via API without the "required" fields, but as soon as a someone tries to edit the user via UI, they get an error until the required fields are entered. (Whether the editor knows that information or not.) We're looking forward to seeing this in a future release.
