Hello faboiohsouza,

we already knew this bug, you can see it in the ticket #3407 . We have fixed it i nthe repository but for fixing your server you can do the following:

Go to 'Module status' and enable the 'Users and Group' module then save changes. After that try to create users, you should not have problem now.

I suggest you delete the previous created users and create them again to make sure they are properly created this time.

We have

Regards,

Javier
