+Adding A User From The Command-Line
+-----------------------------------
+
+The ``roundup-admin`` program can create any data you wish to in the
+database. To create a new user, use::
+
+    roundup-admin create user
+
+To figure out what good values might be for some of the fields (eg. Roles)
+you can just display another user::
+
+    roundup-admin list user
+
+(or if you know their username, and it happens to be "richard")::
+
+    roundup-admin find username=richard
+
+then using the user id you get from one of the above commands, you may
+display the user's details::
+
+    roundup-admin display <userid>
