Create disabled users?

I'm trying to programmatically create a few dummy users in Thingworx for a demo. I'm able to easily create them using EntityServices.CreateUser, but there doesn't seem to be a service to disable the created user either on EntityServices or on the User object itself. How can I accomplish that on release 5.4?

    This will be available in the next release I believe.

    I do not have older versions of TWX, but am able to create, disable and enable users using following snippets in Thingworx 7.1

    // To create an user

    var params = {

        password: <password> /* STRING */,

        name: <name> /* STRING */,

        description: <description> /* STRING */,

        tags: undefined /* TAGS */

    };

    Resources["EntityServices"].CreateUser(params);

    // To disable an enabled user

    Users[<username>].DisableUser();

    // To enable a disabled user

    Users[<username>].EnableUser();

    True but it does not create the user as disabled. The user is created as "enabled" than you disable it.

    By the way, how can I know if a user is disabled or enabled from within a service.  Is there a property I can check or a service like the one "IsEnabled" available for Things?

    In Release 7.1, I see that it is possible to check as follows:

    var enabled = Users[<username>].IsEnabled();
