Please let me know if we can create and remove AIX users with a script.
Yes, why not. Feed the user list to a script with a loop reading in the parameters and hand them to
useradd.
For the PWs use the same script and add a
chpasswd.
Give it a try and show your code if you get stuck. The man pages explain clearly by examples how to use the two commands.

pts_interactive
PTS_INTERACTIVE(1) AFS Command Reference PTS_INTERACTIVE(1)
NAME
pts_interactive - Enters interactive mode
SYNOPSIS
pts interactive [-cell] <cell name> [-noauth]
[-auth] [-localauth] [-force]
pts in [-c] <cell name> [-n] [-f]
DESCRIPTION
The pts interactive command allows the user to enter an interactive mode, useful for running bulk commands like creating new users or
groups.
pts interactive uses the authentication state supplied on its command line to run all bulk commands. However, if a bulk command is supplied
with authentication options such as -cell, -localauth, -auth or -noauth then it, and all subsequent bulk commands, will be run with those
options.
CAUTIONS
Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts interactive command was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled
with the supergroups option (disabled by default). As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available.
Running bulk pts commands may degrade the performance of the Protection Server while they are run and server resources may not be released
immediately after commands are run. The pts sleep command can be used in interactive mode or with pts source to give the Protection Server
a change to catch up.
OPTIONS
pts interactive only takes the standard pts options.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).
-force
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the
first error.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or
-noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).
OUTPUT
The output is the same as if each individual command were run from the command line.
EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a pts interactive session:
% pts interactive
pts> examine admin
Name: admin, id: 1, owner: system:administrators, creator: anonymous,
membership: 2, flags: S----, group quota: 20.
pts> help
pts: Commands are:
adduser add a user to a group
apropos search by help text
chown change ownership of a group
creategroup create a new group
createuser create a new user
delete delete a user or group from database
examine examine an entry
help get help on commands
interactive enter interactive mode
listentries list users/groups in the protection database
listmax list max id
listowned list groups owned by an entry or zero id gets orphaned groups
membership list membership of a user or group
quit exit program
removeuser remove a user from a group
rename rename user or group
setfields set fields for an entry
setmax set max id
sleep pause for a bit
source read commands from file
pts> quit
%
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The same privilege is required to run the command in interactive mode as is required to run the command by itself on the command line. Some
commands such as pts createuser require that the user belong to the system:administrators group, while others do not.
