Enter a user name from 1 to 31 characters.

The user name can only contain the following characters:

Alphanumeric A-z 0-9 (there is no unicode support)

The first character must be alphabetical (A-Z a-z), an underscore (_), or a dash (-). Other limitations on user names are:

User names are case-sensitive. If you enter a user 'bob' but use 'BOB' when connecting via CIFS or FTP, it will use the account settings used for 'BOB' not ‘bob’.

User names have to be different than user group names.
