create_users

Create user accounts.

A user account is what someone logs in with. Permissions are not given to users directly: they are given to groups, and a user gets a combination of permissions from all the groups they belong to. So a new account with no groups can log in and do almost nothing, unless the Registered Users group (group 2), which all accounts are members of, has been given various permissions.

If you need to create an account associated with an entries-are-users form, you should not use this tool and you should make an entry in that form instead. A user account will be created automatically when the entry is created in that form.

Access to menu entries is handled separately from permissions. Just because a user has the right to use a form, that does not necessarily mean they need to see it in the menu. The user might access it through the screens of another form, for example. Don't forget to give users access to the menu items they need, using create_menu_item or update_menu_item.
