I don't know any plugins that would do what you want. Anyway here are some thoughts.
1. You need to override the user model validation since you don't want to add emails. 2. You need to override the activate method because that will send an email after creating a user 3. You need to override the users controller, the signup_completed action, you need to redirect to the activate_user_path to auto activate account whenever it is created by an admin. 4. You can always add a link to new_users_path since that's where the signup_path points to. This link should only be visible to an admin. That's all I can think off. :D Merry Christmas!
