create-person [89] (10) Recommended

        create-person [89] (( name      :   HOLLERITH;
                              passwd    :   HOLLERITH;
                              flags     :   Personal-Flags;
                              aux-items :   ARRAY Aux-Item-Input ))
                -> ( Pers-No );

This call requests that the server create a new person with the name and password given as arguments. To create a person the session must be logged in as a person with sufficient privileges. The list aux-items contains the aux items that are to be attached to the new person's mailbox conference. The person flags are set to flags.

The new person will be a member of exactly one conference: the associated mailbox. That membership will have priority 255 and (of course) position 0. All flags of the membership will be 0.

Unlike call number 5, this call does not do an automatic login.
