About User Management Tools
From the official readme · v1.1Description
With the current WordPress administration area, the only way to add existing users to a certain blog is by entering their usernames, one by one. It’s very time consuming.

- Go to WP Admin -> Users.
- Click the “Entire Network” link.
- Check the users you want to add.
- Choose the new role from the dropdown.
- Press “Change”.
Note that you have to be a super-admin to be able to do this.
