I needed to create a feature for administrators to create accounts and email the new account was created email using a button. Remember to change the default template and subject to match your needs.

The code is directly taken from django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm.save().

Notice that the function raises ValueError if the user is missing an email address.
