Hi @wildix!

The ElementFactory#createParticipantShape offers a helper to create bpmn:Participant elements which an attached bpmn:Process element. This returns a participant shape which can be added to the canvas. For setting the name you will have to update the shapesname` property. So something like this

var elementFactory = modeler.get('elementFactory'),
    modeling = modeler.get('modeling'),
    canvas = modeler.get('canvas');

var parent = canvas.getRootElement(),
  participant1 = elementFactory.createParticipantShape(),
  participant2 = elementFactory.createParticipantShape();

participant1.businessObject.name = 'A';
participant2.businessObject.name = 'B';

modeling.createShape(participant1, { x: 350, y: 200 }, parent);

// turned into collaboration
parent = canvas.getRootElement();

modeling.createShape(participant2, { x: 350, y: 500 }, parent);

Will lead to this

Note: Creating the first participant in the process will turn the whole diagram to a collaboration for adding another participants
