Ravi,

 

You can store value which are required to create a user record on a custom object and then on the on insertion of record of that custom object,you can populate the fields for user record and create a user record.

 

Basically,you can write a Trigger on custom object and populate the fields for user record and then can insert the record.You can try below sample code for your reference which you can use in your Trigger:-

 

User u2 = new User(username='vkumar@chatter.com', firstname='Vinit',
lastname='Kumar', email='vkumar@salesforce.com',communityNickname = 'vkumar_sfdc',
alias = 'vkumar123', profileid = '00e90000000nyqv', emailencodingkey='UTF-8',
languagelocalekey='en_US', localesidkey='en_US', timezonesidkey='America/Los_Angeles');
 
insert u2;

There is no ability to create a user via a Trigger functionality. 

 

Triggers are invoked upon Inserting or Updating database objects.

 

There is a way to create users using SOAP and REST API by assigning a role and profile if you are looking for an automatic way of creating User.
