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()); }

did you check the permission of the system user, you are using to save the user node.?

Please verify that.

      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,

        Pavan

                    You can use repository initialization concept here.

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

                     

                    Hope it will work!

                    Thanks!
