Connectivity Software User's Guide and Reference
Examples - Server Access Control - Create named users and assign security roles

.NET

// This example shows how to create a user with username & password and assign it specific OPC UA security roles. 
// You can use any OPC UA client, including our Connectivity Explorer and OpcCmd utility, to connect to the server.
