If you are using 3.4, $this->Users->save($userEntity), is wrapped in a transaction already. If you want to control the transaction you can
try {
$this->Users->getConnection()->begin();
$this->Users->saveOrFail($userEntity, [‘atomic’ => false]);
$this->Users->getConnection()->commit();

} catch(\Cake\ORM\Exception\PersistenceFailedException $e) {
$this->Users->getConnection()->rollback();
}

Another possibility is found in the book.

https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#converting-multiple-records

}

you can also use transactional which is more convinient

On top of same page that Graziel write is:

use Cake\Datasource\ConnectionManager;
$connection = ConnectionManager::get('default');

so, try using ->begin() on connection.
