Problem creating username using python iControl...

Can someone please check what I may be doing wrong below?

>>> b.Management.UserManagement.create_user([{'user': [{'name': 'user11', 'full_name': 'user11'}]},{'role': 0}, {'password': 'abcd1234'}])

    I was able to make the following command work...

    >>> b = bigsuds.BIGIP(hostname=mgmtipltm,username='admin',password='default')
>>> u = b.Managment.UserManagement
>>> u.create_user_3([{'user':{'name':'user11','full_name':'user11'},
... 'password':{'is_encrypted':0,'password':'abcd1234'},
... 'permissions':[{'role':'USER_ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR','partition':'[All]'}],
... 'login_shell':'/bin/bash'}])
