Description
In theory, this allowed admins to create user profiles, primed and ready for the person to log in.
Cloudwatch shows this was actually done only a handful of times in 2021.
Additionally, imperfect sanitization of the username field could lead to CSV injection attacks, via the export on Users.jsx.
Therefore, we are removing the page altogether.
