In the new Meteor auth branch how can I create users server side?

I see how to create them client side with the call to

[Client] Meteor.createUser(options, extra, callback)

But suppose I want to create a Meteor user collection record on startup?

For example, the Administrator account during startup/bootstrapping for an application?

Thanks

    Probably it’s a well known fact now, but for the sake of completing this – there’s a new server API for doing this on the auth branch. From the docs on auth:

    ” [Server] Meteor.createUser(options, extra) – Creates a user and
    sends that user an email with a link to choose their initial password
    and complete their account enrollment

    options a hash containing: email (mandatory), username (optional)
    extra: extra fields for the user object (eg name, etc). “

    Please note the API is subject to change as it’s not on the master branch yet.
