CreateUser Method

Description

Creates a user.

Usernames and email addresses must be unique across all users of all Skeddly accounts. Many email servers support "+ notation" to support unique passwords for a single inbox. For example, if the real email address was "[email protected]", then "[email protected]" would forward to the same inbox. Essentially, everything between the "+" and "@" characters is ignored. Check with your IT team to see if your email servers support "+ notation".
