Old post but answer could be useful to other users.

There is a API in permissionservice for that.

setPermission(homeSpaceRef,userName,permissionService.getAllPermission(), true);
You can use this api to set the permission of the created user on the homespace.

you also need to make the user owner of that space by ownerservice's API
setOwner(homeSpaceRef, this.userName);

I am trying to do the same and found this solution:

following are the user roles and permissions table.
