def addUser(users, request):
"""
Add a user
Creates a new user in the system, with all the attributes provided
in the posted user object.
- `username` - Used to identify and login the user. This is the only required parameter and cannot be modified.
- `displayname` - The full name of the user.
- `twitterUsername` - A valid Twitter® username (without @ prefix), used on the twitter integration service.
This operation is idempotent, which means that a request to create a user that already exists,
will not recreate or overwrite that user. Instead, the existing user object will be returned. You can
tell when this happens by looking at the HTTP response status code. A new user insertion will return
a **201 CREATED** code, and a **200 OK** for an existing user.
