Well, since adding the --nopassword option, it's no longer true that
--user is required, so I'll update the command usage to remove --user.
It will just be an asadmin utility option, but the man page will need
to describe how it's used.

This is another one of those "you have to specify option A or option B"
cases. If you specify --nopassword, --user is optional.

--user specifies the user name of the administrative user that will be
created for the new domain. If not specified, and --nopassword is specified,
the default user name "admin" is used.

Try this:

   The create-domain command creates a domain with a single administrative
   user specified by the --user asadmin utility option. If the --nopassword
   option is specified and the --user option is not specified, the default
   admin user "admin" is used. If the --nopassword is not specified, a user
   name is required and will be prompted for (if interactive) if not specified
   using the --user option.
