Change the way existing users are handled when invited to org

This is somewhat related to Bulk Invite/add Users to group from list or file.

At the start of every semester I assist faculty by setting up groups for their course sections and adding their students to the respective groups. I accomplish this by using the "Add members using their organization-specific IDs without sending invitations" method (we use SSO Enterprise logins), which allows me to upload a class roster provided by the instructor. During the invite configuration I assign the group I've created for the course. This works fine for those that are not already org members (have never signed in), but fails for existing ones. I then have to add each of the latter to the group manually, one member at a time.

When the Invite process fails for already existing members, it does not apply any of the parameters requested during the Invitation (licenses, group membership, credit allotment, MyEsri access, etc.). We get notified as to which members were not added, but must then apply the desired parameters to those existing members piecemeal. It would be nice if we were given the option to apply all or some of those parameters to the existing members rather than just being told that the invitation failed. A checkbox list would be best, but even just a simple yes or no to all would be acceptable.
