Create new user via API

Hey.

I working on an frontend adminstration of users. Ref. this thread: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/templates/templates/get-users-from-same-group

From the frontend you submit a new user with username, Name and a selectable "deparmtment"(group).

I use an ajax post function to update users, and delete users. This is working fine at the moment. The problem arise when I want to create a new user... I'm not really sure how to go about actually doing that. I'm using this code below for deleting a user.

Dynamicweb.Security.UserManagement.User.Delete(userID);

Is there a similar method for Creating a user? Also I guess I would have to check to see if the username already exist...?

My thoughts so far... Not working...
