You can create users with the `sync_sso` route. There is some PHP code in this post that gives an example of how to do it: [If someone changes their email in WordPress, change it in Discourse - sso\_sync - #3 by simon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/if-someone-changes-their-email-in-wordpress-change-it-in-discourse-sso-sync/76572/3). In that code, it’s being used to update a user’s email, but the same idea will work to create a new user.
