Hey Matt, an alternative idea would be to connect to the post save signal for User, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/signals/#django.db.models.signals.post_save .
If the user was created perform a password reset on them. Here's the code in Mezzanine that does resets, https://bitbucket.org/stephenmcd/mezzanine/src/05319e2db0712eced56bfd7551fc6078119cbbc8/mezzanine/accounts/views.py?at=default#cl-137. Then the "password reset" email would allow them to choose a new password and login. In that way you could create a user in the admin interface and they would automatically receive an email that gave them access to their account.
