smitty is the non-graphical (tty) version of smit.  Smit is an AIX
(IBM's version of UNIX) tool to perform system management (including
adding, changing, and deleting users).

  The smit command invokes the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT).
  SMIT is an interactive interface application designed to simplify
  system management tasks. The smit command displays a hierarchy of
  menus that can lead to interactive dialogues. SMIT builds and runs
  commands as directed by the user. Because SMIT runs commands, you
  need the authority to execute the commands that SMIT runs.

It's roughly equivalent to SAM on HP-UX, if you've heard of that.
