I tried using something like below, but I need to also include the "User Info" as well as the username in the user properties.

EDIT: The below code worked. The key here is to have a text file that has no spaces and ";" for separators.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
x() {
   LIST=
   SET_A=
   for i in "$@"
   do
           if [ "$i" = "admin=true" ]
           then
                   SET_A="-a"
                   continue
           fi
           LIST="$LIST \"$i\""
   done
   eval mkuser $SET_A $LIST
   }
filename=/path/to/text/file
  cat ${filename} | \
   while read FULLNAME USERID
   do
 x pgrp='pgrp' groups='group1,group2' home='/home' shell='/usr/bin/bash' gecos='$FULLNAME' $USERID
done
