CreateUserEx

The CreateUserEx method replaces the CreateUser and CreateDomainUser methods used in version 4.x. CreateUserEx returns a user ID from the system. This method also enables you to set the time zone and locale of the user account.

Note: This method generates a user name automatically and associates it with the account. You can modify it with the accesscontrol.UpdateUserName method.
