When you try to use the core.addUser API command to add a user to ePO, the command fails.

The following error is displayed when you execute the API command:

Your password must be at least eight characters long.
It must contain at least one uppercase (A-Z) letter, one lowercase letter (a-z), one number (0-9), and one punctuation mark or special character (#?!@$%^&*-).

This issue occurs even when the password strength criteria settings are disabled.

Adding a user through the console using the same password is successful.
