Webservice to add users to SharePoint (like SPWeb.EnsureUser)

Question

Hallo,

i need to add a user to a SharePoint-Website (WSS 3.0) via a Web Service.
Using the API i would use the SPWeb.EnsureUser method, but i can't run my own code on the server.
I was hoping the Users and Groups Web Service could help, but it does not provide a suitable method.

So, is there a Web Service equivalent to SPWeb.EnsureUser?

Thanks!

There are no such built in method in the OOB Web Services.
If you can't deploy custom code to the server, then the only choice you have is to first check if the user exists, and if not, add the user.
