Hi Farai,

It is possible, but let me explain it a bit more clearly. There are
essentially three  ways to do create users.

1) Allow users to self-register.

2) Send a user an invite. This allows them to specify their
username/password and is considered to be more secure, as the password is
never transmitted over insecure means. This method is described in detail
in the link which you provided.

3) Create users with  pre-defined username and password. This can be done
with XML/JSON through the metadata API. You can follow the example ofhere
https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/users/oXD88WWSQpR to know how the payload
should be structured.
The property "password" should contain the clear-text password of the user,
and should be a child of the "userCredentials" node.
Once you create the XML/JSON payload as you like, then you can post this to
/api/metaData.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Jason
