You could either override the default devise controller and add in your custom logic, or, It would probably be easier however to make a new (Admin) controller and simply create a user using one of it's actions.

redirect_to @user

Devise has loads of guides on how to customise it's behaviour here: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/_pages
