Hi Vangelis,

The registerUser API can create user folders and set appropriate  
permissions. Its a configurable option. See the javadocs:

http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/apidocs/org/apache/jetspeed/administration/PortalAdministration.html

Parameters:
    userName - Unique user principal identifier
    password - Password for this user
    roles - A list of roles to assign to this user
    groups - A list of groups to assign to this user
    userInfo - Portlet API User Information Attributes name value  
pairs (PLT.D)
    rules - A map of name value pairs of profiling rules. Well known  
rules names are 'page' and 'menu'
    folderTemplate - The full PSML path name of a folder to be deep  
copied as the new user's set of folders, pages, links
    subsite - The subsite folder to place the new user in


The parameter you are looking for is folderTemplate, it can be null  
and a user folder will not be created, or a path to a template folder  
as described above
