Hi Lawrence,

You can do this in 2 ways viz:-

1. Use BAPI_USER_CREATE1 to create new users in system and assign initial password to the users just created by BAPI_USER_CHANGE. After this you can use function module SUSR_USER_BUFFER_AFTER_CHANGE to refresh the buffer.

2. Do a BDC of SU01 transaction with proper check of authority object.

I would recommend option 1. Please check and let me know if you face any problems.

Reward points if this helps.

BR,

Atanu
