Is there a way to add a new user to the WebIQ user management system with a local script?

Hey Brian,

Example code is below. I stole the createUser function from the default user management widget handler included in the controls library. I didn't see a clear way to do this using the methods included in the User and UserManagement classes. Visuals User Management  

 

 

(function () {

    /**
     * replace module name with a custom name for the local-script.
     *
     * All local-script should be attached to the "custom.ls" package.
     * If more than one script is required for an application, a common root package
     * should be created (e.g. "custom.ls.customerName.*").
     */

    var MODULE_NAME = "create_user",
        ENABLE_LOGGING = false,
        RECORD_LOG = false,
        logger = shmi.requires("visuals.tools.logging").createLogger(MODULE_NAME, ENABLE_LOGGING, RECORD_LOG),
        fLog = logger.fLog,
        log = logger.log,
        module = shmi.pkg( MODULE_NAME );

    // MODULE CODE - START

    /* private variables */

    /* private functions */
    function createUser(username, password, additionalProperties) {
        const { ConnectSession } = shmi.visuals.session,
            { User } = shmi.requires("shmi.visuals.controls.iq-user-management"),
            newProperties = User.translateInternal2Api(additionalProperties || {});

        newProperties.username = username;
        newProperties.password = password;

        return ConnectSession.requestPromise("user.add", newProperties).then(() => new User(username, newProperties));
    }

    /**
     * Implements local-script run function.
     *
     * This function will be called each time a local-script will be enabled.
     *
     * @param {LocalScript} self instance reference of local-script control
     */
    module.run = function (self) {
        //Place your Code here
        createUser("test_user", "test_pw");

        /* called when this local-script is disabled */
        self.onDisable = function () {
            self.run = false; /* from original .onDisable function of LocalScript control */
        };
    };


    // MODULE CODE - END

    fLog("module loaded");
})();

Please note that when using undocumented functions the functionality might break in future versions of WebIQ without any prior notice or support.
I will however take up the question as a suggestion for adding such functionality to the UserManager class.
