It depends on whether you can use that user's password. With the
password, it's very feasible. Without it, some people seem to have
found ways. There some discussion of this here -

If for some reason User A will not or cannot cooperate, the admin could change User A's password and then run "Add or Remove". Of course the admin would not be able to change the pw back, but if User A is not cooperating maybe that wouldn't matter.
