You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

Add button -> Create New User dialog:

Expectation:
   dialog claims to accept the special character "." dot in Short Names (as well "-" hyphen and "_" underscore)

Actual:
  attempting to create a user with a "." dot results in the error: "The configuration could not be saved\n You are not allowed to modify the system configuration."

Using an "_" underscore or "-" hyphen works as expected.
