Notify Users after Bulk Operation

1 Requirements

There is a functional gap between two features that weakens usability of user administration a lot:

• Bulk operations on several user accounts (e.g., setting user active/inactive, setting/removing limited access)
• Notification of users on changes in their account

Unfortunately, when you make changes to user accounts via the user list (and not the individual user form), there is no chance to enable a notification.
 
Example scenario where this appears to be a deficit:

• You allow self-registration but only with confirmation.
• Several users register and receive an e-mail telling them they still have to wait for confirmation.
• In the end of the day/week/etc., you filter for inactive users and bulk-set them active (to avoid that you have to open each single one of maybe dozens of user forms).
• However: After this operation, users do not receive any e-mail telling them they have been confirmed!

So, what would be helpful here is an intermediate step in the bulk operation that asks whether to notify users on the change made to their account.
