When creating a new user in Matomo.....

1. there should be some kind of checkbox that says Send the new user an email about their account..

2. When this is checked, the user would receive an email that says eg.

 Hello,

Welcome to Matomo Analytics.

Username: XXXXXXXX

To set your password, visit the following address:

<https://xxxxxxxxxxx&key=xyz>

https://URL-Matomo-here

• Ideally the email would use the good looking email template like scheduled reports (rather than a plain text email).

3. forced to change/set their password

We don't want to send the user's password in the email. So ideally we send a link for user to set their password. The challenge is that we currently don't have a feature (like WP does) to reset a password via a URL. (instead, our password reset involves clicking in an email on a link).
