Adding a webuser programatically

The default guest user has permissions to create a new webuser.

Example:

CmsDefaultUsers defaultUsers = new CmsDefaultUsers();
CmsObject obj= OpenCms.initCmsObject(defaultUsers.getUserGuest()); 
CmsUser user = obj.addWebUser(userId, password, group, "Web User", new Hashtable() );
obj.writeWebUser(user);

The new hashtable is the additional information that OpenCms can store about a user.
