snmpusm and security of the initial user

I read in the snmpusm manual that I need to have an "initial" user to create
additional users. I am wondering about the security implications of this
requirement. Seems like I will have to hard-code the snmpv3 password in the
application I'm writing to wrap the snmpv3 user creation/deletion
operations. Is there a way to avoid creating this initial user?

thanks in advance!
