I think use of "inactive" and "active" to describe users might be
confusing since there is already an account enable/disable command.
This

Agree, we should only have "ipa user-unstage <username>" and not call
this operations with words like active/inactive.
User's in the staging area are not inactive, they are *not* users yet in
the first place.
Simo.
Ok. Let us consolidate the decisions, I think we are now running in
circles. Let me start from Petr3's API proposal which was a
functionally complete proposal and start from there:

Not needed.

We need both, alternative is Simo's proposal:
ipa user-unstage
ipa user-undelete
I personally like unstage and undelete commands, I would go with those.

Ok.

IMO staged deleted users should not be moved to deleted container, but
simply permanently deleted. As Simo noted, staged user are not real
users, just incomplete users.

None of the commands are needed for the basic workflow.

Ok.

Simo did not like this command, I would personally add it. As long as
we have "ipa user-add --staged", we should also have an option to
delete and modify user in staged area.
> (in del) ipa user-mod tuser --deleted ...
Not needed.
When a user that left the organisation is coming back we will move his
entry 'delete' to 'active'. Now if the administrator wants the user to
come back but with some changes, he may need this option. For example if
by the time he left, the default homeDirectory changed the administrator
may want to update its value.
Is this acceptable for everyone? If yes, the next step would be for
Thierry to update the design page with new proposals.
