Hi @mandapavankumar you can try below sample code, assuming system user is having all required permission in publish environment -

 @Activate
    public void createLocalUser() {
        try {
            Map<String, Object> param = new HashMap<>();
            param.put(ResourceResolverFactory.SUBSERVICE, "system-user");
            ResourceResolver resolver = resolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(param);
            UserManager userManager = resolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class);
            Authorizable user = userManager.createUser("newlocaluser", "password");
            user.setProperty("firstName", "test");
            user.setProperty("lastName", "user");
            user.addGroup("group1");
            userManager.updateUser(user);
            LOG.info("Local user newlocaluser created successfully.");
            resolver.close();
        } catch (LoginException | RepositoryException e) {
            LOG.error("Error creating local user: {}", e.getMessage());
        }

You can use repository initialization concept here.

https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/repository-initialization.html

Hope it will work!

Thanks!

Below is the sample code to create user:

Map<String, Object> param = new HashMap<String, Object>();

param.put(ResourceResolverFactory.SUBSERVICE, "service-userid");

ResourceResolver resolver = resourceFact.getServiceResourceResolver(param);

org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager userManager = resolver.adaptTo(org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager.class);
if(userManager == null)
{
    log.error("userManager == null!");
    return;
}else {
    String username = "mytestuser";
    String password = "password";
    org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.User user = userManager.createUser(username, password);
}

Note: please make sure system user has permissions to create user.

Hi Siva,

Can you please correct me that in this line the login is reffering to username right.

 org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.User user = userManager.createUser(login, password);

Thanks,
