Hello,

We are getting following error for Add User smart service call :

[Username may only contain letters, numbers, and the following special characters @ . _ -][chitra.devic@gmail.com is not a valid email address]

though given user name satisfies criteria it gives error, for some user names with same format it worked .

As per requirement here we pass email ID as a username.

Can any one help on this ?...

Could you check your server logs for the more detailed error?

It could be there's a hidden character in that text that you cannot see. I suggest you go to the variables tab and copy that value and paste it on a text editor enabling the display hidden characters maybe there's a trailing space

We have used trim() while passing value , and We checked there is no trailing space.
In running instance, we start one more instance of that node then also it is not working and giving same error.
In test process model I copied same value and tried to add user it is working fine.

Can you attach a screenshot of the error, the error messages you posted seem to indicate two separate issues one with the username one with the email address.

My main point here is that you're focusing your troubleshooting in the email address but the error is also saying the username is invalid. What's the username that you were trying to use for this account?

I am thinking the email address is simply a cascade error but the real issue is the username.
