## Description

WordPress Multisite’s Add Existing User field requires you to type the username 
or email address of an existing user. This plugin makes this job a bit easier, by
adding autocomplete functionality to the Add Existing User box. It also allows you
to add multiple users at a time.

NOTE: Based in part on this plugin, WordPress 3.4+ has built-in autocomplete throughout
much of the Network Admin. If you wish to use WP’s native autocomplete, do not use
this plugin. However, Add User Autocomplete has some features that WP’s version 
does not (the ability to add multiple users, search by display name); activating
AUA will disactivate WP’s autocomplete.

## Installation

 * Install
 * Activate
 * Go to Users > Add New and start typing in the Add Existing User field
