+Create a new user
+
+To use this script. Firstly create a .restconfig.json file with either API token or basic auth (username/password) as per the examples :
+https://github.com/blackducksoftware/hub-rest-api-python/blob/master/restconfig.json.example
+https://github.com/blackducksoftware/hub-rest-api-python/blob/master/restconfig.json.api_token.example
+
+Then to run:
+python create_api_token.py MyToken "My Token Description"
+
+It will output the token that is generated.  If you would like the token to be read only add the -r flag to the command line.
