Adding users to firebase

I'm having a bit of trouble adding users to Firebase. If anyone could help me out with this, it would be significantly appreciated.

Here is my code:

var myRootRef = Firebase(url:"https://plattrapp.firebaseio.com/users")
        myRootRef.createUser(emailSignUpEntered, password: passwordSignUpEntered,
            withValueCompletionBlock: { error, result in

                if error != nil {
                    // There was an error creating the account
                } else {
                    let uid = result["uid"] as? String
                    println("Successfully created user account with uid: \(uid)")
                }
        })

It does display in the println statement within my debugger that a user has been created, but doesn't actually display within my firebase database.

Anything I may be doing wrong?

Firebase Authentication does not automatically create any information about the user in the associated database.

Most applications end up creating this information from their own code under a top-level users node. This is covered in the section called "Storing User Data" in the Firebase programming guide for iOS.

It is in general a good idea to read the Firebase documentation on the topic that you are working on. It will prevent a lot of grey/lost hair and wasted time.
