+The `user` resource now supports the creation of users on macOS 10.14 and 10.15 systems. The updated resource now complies with macOS TCC policies by using a user with admin privileges to create and modify users. The following new properties have been added for macOS user creation:

+* `secure_token` is a boolean property that sets the desired state for SecureToken. SecureToken token is required for FileVault full disk encryption.
+
+* `secure_token_password` is the plaintext password required to enable or disable secure_token for a user. If no salt is specified we assume the 'password' property corresponds to a plaintext password and will attempt to use it in place of secure_token_password if it not set.
