Yes, USM from snmp++ has add_usm_user() and add_localized_user() and
UsmUserTable from agent++ has two addNewRow() functions. If users are
added to USM, UsmUserTable is informed through a callback. [And here I
found a bug: If users are removed from USM, the UsmUserTable is not
informed :-( Should be fixed for the next release] The UsmUserTable
informes USM about added/removed users.

A manager with snmp++ can only use the USM functions and in an agent the
agent++ UsmUserTable should be used.
