NetUserAdd () is successful, but the user is "invisible",

I am creating a user with an API NetUserAdd. It returns successfully, the user has a user folder, and I can see the username with wmic useraccount get name. However, the created user does not appear under the control panel or on the login screen. I assume that I need to add the user to some group, but I do not know what and how.

This is how I create a user:

USER_INFO_1 user_info;
ZeroMemory(&user_info, sizeof(user_info));
user_info.usri1_name = userName;
user_info.usri1_password = password;
user_info.usri1_priv = USER_PRIV_USER;
user_info.usri1_flags = UF_SCRIPT | UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD;

DWORD dwLevel = 1;
DWORD dwError = 0;
NET_API_STATUS nStatus = NetUserAdd(NULL, dwLevel, (LPBYTE)&user_info, &dwError);

How can I make the user visible on the login screen?

The user did not appear on the welcome screen because he was not added to the Users group. Here's how to do it:

LOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_3 lmi3;
ZeroMemory(&lmi3, sizeof lmi3);
lmi3.lgrmi3_domainandname = user_info.usri1_name;
DWORD err = NetLocalGroupAddMembers(NULL, L"Users", 3, (LPBYTE) &lmi3, 1);
