Patch looks ok, I just think the output could be improved.

I think it should look similar to the existing usage output, so, similar 
indention and description columns lined up:

Usage: ipa [global-options] user-add LOGIN [options]

Positional arguments:
   LOGIN              User login

Options:
   -h, --help         show this help message and exit
