 Hi there

 Creating a new user through the API on a multisite results in a user not
 assigned to any website. I know the focus on the REST API have not focused
 mainly on the multisite part of things but would the expected behavior not
 be to assign the user to the site that the request has been passed to?

 Example:

 POST http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users will add the user to the
 example.com site
 POST http://test example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users will add the user to the
 test.example.com site

 And so on.

 As users are the thing shared across multisite I think that this would be
 an important change as otherwise creating new users on multisites will be
 kinda meaningless at the moment.
