Creates a new person.

Inputs	Data Type	Description
Description	String	Specifies the description of the person.
name	String	Specifies the name of the person, used as additional identification for informational use. Tip: If you want to create a Windows domain user, you must enter the name value in the following format: `<Fully Qualified Windows Domain Name>\<Windows Account Name>` (for example `MyDomain.MyCompany.com\RobertGray)`. Because the Windows account name is not verified against the domain when creating the user, be sure to enter the correct account name; otherwise, the user will not be able to log in to Workflow. For more information, see Windows Domain-Based Security.
S95 ID	String	Specifies the S95 ID of the person to create.

Note: In the Configure Method dialog box, click Next to select a resource. Otherwise, in the Inputs section of the activity configuration panel, click the ellipsis button to select a resource.
