dscl (directory services client)

dscl is a general-purpose utility for operating on Directory Service directory nodes.

“dscl localhost -whatever /Local/Users”, replacing every instance of a solitary “/” with “localhost” and changing /Users to /Local/users. Hope that helps.

Create & delete user accounts from the command line on Mac OS X

dscl / -create /Users/toddharris

Create and set the shell property to bash.
dscl / -create /Users/toddharris UserShell /bin/bash

Create and set the user’s full name.
dscl / -create /Users/toddharris RealName "Dr. Todd Harris"

Create and set the user’s ID.
dscl / -create /Users/toddharris UniqueID 503

Create and set the user’s group ID property.
dscl / -create /Users/toddharris PrimaryGroupID 1000

Create and set the user home directory.
dscl / -create /Users/toddharris NFSHomeDirectory /Local/Users/toddharris

Set the password.
dscl / -passwd /Users/toddharris PASSWORD

or

passwd toddharris

If you would like Dr. Harris to be able to perform administrative functions: dscl / -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership toddharris

sudo dscl localhost -create /Local/Default/Users/username
