Creating local users when using Remote Authentication

Hi F5'ers,   I'd like to provision (some) local users even though Remote Authentication (using Radius) is provisioned.   F5 removed f5adduser (in 10.1.0), so, what's the sanctioned alternative? ...

/etc/cron.hourly/localUserInsert

#!/bin/bash
grep myUser /config/bigip/auth/localusers
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
	echo myUser >> /config/bigip/auth/localusers
fi

And i'll probably need to recreate it after every upgrade, but that's not a big deal.
