```ruby
rails c
u = User.create!(username: "name", email: "name@email.com", password: "password")
u.approve(Discourse.system_user, false) # if manual approvals are required
u.activate

```

If the user should be an admin, add `, admin: true` to the create line inside the parentheses; likewise for moderators.
