In AIX you can use the "mkuser" command. If you have a simple list of users in a text file, one username per line, this is as trivial as a for loop.
Something like:
for user in `cat userlist.txt`; do
mkuser $user blah blah blah
done

UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1) General Commands Manual UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1)
NAME
update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache
SYNOPSIS
update-profile-cache
DESCRIPTION
Running this script (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically
once a day by a cron script.
NOTE: No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment caching pro-
file assingments is only supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles,
i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment).
FILES
/etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles
/etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script
