Summary0000723: app-groups allows group creation with spaces which is disallowed by app-users.
Descriptionapp-users throws 'Disallowed Key Characters.' by design and it is a good thing when a group name contains spaces. The problem can and does occur because the group module allows group names with spaces to be generated in the first place. Group names with spaces can cause some things in Linux to choke and should be avoided.

To fix this issue, disallow the creation of group names that contain spaces in app-groups.
Steps To ReproduceIn app-group, create a group name with a space in it.

Then in app-users, create a user and assign them to that group during the user creation.

NOTE: it is interesting to note that if you assign the user after he has been created in to the group in app-groups, it will allow it.

Creating groups with spaces has been disabled in the GUI. The API still accepts groups with spaces since it may run into such scenarios, notably:

- Active Directory Connector
- Samba 4 default groups (e.g. Domain Admins)
