#6 Allow promotion of a Contact to an account

[Adam Tauno Williams]

Contacts can be created with Snurtle, but there is no simple way to convert a contact into an account; without this there is no direct way to add users to Coils.

c = ctx.run_command('contact::get', id=10600)
c.login='adam'
c.is_account = 1
c.template_user_id = 9999
ctx.commit()

The "account::new" Logic command implements this.

Parameter	Description
login	The login value to be assigned to the new account. The login value must be unique system-wide.
password	Clear text password for the new account. No password will be set if this parameter is not provided; which doesn't matter if the instance is using an external authentication mechanism.
contact	The contact entity to be granted account status.

This Logic command even already implements roles. So we probably just need an API and/or a tool.

Might be nice to be able to set the template id of the new user.
