Just like every administrative task: via smitty (or with command useradd).

or

Login to (or telnet to) node. (From a PC, click "Start" and "Run". Type "cmd" and click "OK". Type "telnet node", where "node" is the name of the node to login to.)

Type "root", depress "Enter", type "password", and depress "Enter", where "password" is root's password (see node administrator for password).

2. Execute SMIT.

Type "smitty" at the command prompt and depress "Enter".

3. Use the down arrow till you highlight "Security and Users" and depress "Enter". Use the down arrow till you highlight "Users". Depress "Enter". Use the down arrow till you highlight "Add a User". Depress "Enter". Enter the "userid" in the "User NAME" prompt, and depress "Enter", where userid is the account that you want to create. Currently, we are using the same account name as is used to logon to the mainframe. Depress "Esc" and "3", simultaneously, two (2) times, to repeat for other users or to exit from adding a new user.

4. Once you have entered all the new userids, use the down arrow till you highlight "Change a User's Password" and depress "Enter". Depress "Esc" and "3", simultaneously, to enter more new userids passwords or to exit from changing a user's password.

5. Depress "Esc" and "3", simultaneously, to enter the users (userids) into their proper groups. Use the down arrow till you highlight "Groups" and depress "Enter".

Use the down arrow till you highlight "Change/Show Characteristics of a Group" and depress "Enter". Type "group" in "Group NAME" prompt, where "group" is one of three (currently) categories, depending on the user's access needs.

After you have added or changed users (userids) to the correct group, then depress "Esc" and "3", simultaneously, to exit "SMIT".

6. Login to each new user account on AIX (UNIX) (using step #1). Change the account password to the same as the userid (current standard).

The question is unclear; when you "create" a user you either create a default home directory for the user or specify the path for that user. If the user doesn't exist then typically they don't have a home directory at this point.

If you want to associate a new user with an existing (unowned) directory then just specify the path name when creating the user (via smit, for example).
