Hello,

I am running Alfresco CE 4.2c on Ubuntu 12.04 server. I cannot create an internal user using the admin-console > users > new user. I get the New User form and fill up the required fields but when I click the Create User button I just get sent back to the New User form that is empty. I have been able to invite External users via email.

Has anyone encountered this same problem? Any solutions? If Alfresco is run on an intranet, is email still required?

Search for the user you created.  See if he now exists as a result of your creating him.

I get the same when I create a user (brought back to New user form with no indication that the previous create succeeded).  When I search for the user, the user exists, so create succeeded.  It's just a usability issue (might be a bug in 4.2.c, you could raise a JIRA item around this if you want) that (1) there's no indication that the user was created and (2) "Create User" acts like "Create and Create Another".  Create User should just go to a success page. 

"Create and Create Another" goes back to the New User form but it does show "User created successfully" text (which fades away).
