 * Hello,
 * we have originally started to use MultiSite in order to centralize administration
   and updates management for our clients, which are completely separate companies.
 * We have, after some time, encountered the following problem: As “wp_users” table
   is shared among all sites, if somebody registers on one of the sites and would
   then want to register to another one, it would tell him that his username / e-
   mail address is already used, which would pretty much confuse him.
 * This is also problem for certain commerce plugins, like WooCommerce, which writes
   customers into wp_users table and given that each site would sell 100 products
   a month, it would make the table quite a mess very fast.
 * Is there any way how to override this shared wp_users or any other solution suggested?

 * Can’t override no.
 * But. Do you need all users added to all sites all the time, or just sometimes?
