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.

    Hi Surendra,

    CRX Explorer allows you to create system users.

    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.

    Alex

    Hi,

    What do you mean by manually, If you have UI to create system user, you need to specify userid / password.

    What are you trying to automate here?
