Save failed: user with the same identity already exists -- Making a user manually

I'm not sure how Wasp makes a user how does that work? I need to make a user in the background.
If I write 
    if (!user) {
        // Create a new user if they don't exist
        user = await context.entities.User.create({
            data: {
                email: invitation.invitedUserEmail,
                firstName,
                lastName,
            },
        });
    } else {
        // Update existing user
        user = await context.entities.User.update({
            where: { id: user.id },
            data: { firstName, lastName },
        });
    }

    return user;


The user exists in the backend but if they try to login/signup they receive the error
Save failed: user with the same identity already exists

How can I create a user in the background and if they want to sign in they'll have to set a new password (Basically go through the signup again) I think I can figure out this part and it's not WASP specific just the creation of a user I don't fully understand.
