How to create a system user in AEM 6.1?

On AEM 6.1.. I am trying to create a System User (rep:SystemUser). Can anyone help me?

I need this system-user to map to a service in OSGI that i want to use to Write some data to aem content. 

I can see the "system users" in CRX at this location: /home/users/system 

I tried to create a new node to create a new-user with "jcr:primaryType rep:SystemUser", and defined the rep:PrincipalName, but that property is not being set as "Protected=true", by default is is taking as "Protected = false" and so saving the node is failing with that message.

    1. Open http://localhost:4502/crx/explorer/index.jsp
    2. Login as admin
    3. Click User Administration
    4. Click Create System User
    5. Set the UserId
    6. Click Save

    Hope that helps.
