Create Extra Administrator gives error “Failed to save extra administrator : Missing or invalid username”

I am trying to “Create Extra Administrator” for a domain…i get an error message “Failed to save extra administrator : Missing or invalid username” i have tried various combinations of user/passwords - using a username and password that failed in the GUI from the command line works fine, and i am able to set anything i need from the command line - THOUGH if i try and edit a user i created from the command line in the GUI i get the same error on save,

Howdy -- thanks for contacting us!

I did some testing, and wasn't able to reproduce an issue like that.

Which browser is it that you're using? And does the issue still occur in a different browser?

Also, what theme are you using?

It failed when using Apple Sierra and Safari.

The virtualmin server is Operating system Ubuntu Linux 16.04 Webmin version 1.831 Virtualmin version 5.07 Theme version Authentic Theme 18.32 Time on system Monday, April 3, 2017 7:35 PM Kernel and CPU Linux 4.4.0-71-generic on x86_64

User i was trying to create. RypIkph1

I use apg to create random users and passwords so - must have upper lower and numbers and minimum 8 charactors

The above also failed with Chrome and Firefox in Sierra (10.12.4) using the GUI

This is a Virtualmin bug - upper case characters are (incorrectly) not allowed in usernames. This will be fixed in the next release.
