I am pretty confident there is no way to do this via the API
currently, though I imagine it wouldn't be terribly complicated to add
and the community would appreciate the contribution. If API-based
access isn't a strong requirement and you have direct access to the
Galaxy server here is a script-template I have used to automatically
create users:

The above gist is probably enough to get going, but here is the full
context of how I create such a file if that is of interest:
