The System Preferences>Accounts preference panel allows you to create accounts if you're the admin user. AFAIK, user{add,mod,del} aren't on MacOS X like they are on Solaris. The command-line tools from prior releases were removed (niutil, etc.)
For databases, use the tools provided with that database to add accounts to it.
