It's very rarely needed but then it is quite annoying:
tgr@deploy2002:~$ mwscript-k8s --comment='T404334' --follow -- CentralAuth:createLocalAccount --wiki=aawiki TgrTest ⏳ Starting CentralAuth:createLocalAccount on Kubernetes as job mw-script.codfw.x4x144jf ... 🚀 Job is running. 📜 Streaming logs: autoCreateUser failed for TgrTest: Error: Automatic account creation is not allowed.
createLocalAccount.php uses UltimateAuthority, but ClosedWikiProvider checks account creation/autocreation rights via CentralAuthUser::hasGlobalPermission() which ignores that.
(Maybe CentralAuthUser should check the user's authority instead, but that seems like too much magic.)
