Trying To Add Devry Admin To iLab Virtual Machine

From what I understand I should be able to use the following steps to add an administrator on Linux:

1.    Open a shell prompt.
2.    If you are not logged in as root, type the command su - and enter the root password.

3.    Type useradd followed by a space and the username for the new account you are creating at the command line (for example, useradd jsmith).

For my project I wanted to verify this would work for adding the Devry admin "admin@devry.edu" in our iLab Linux virtual machine.  Unfortunately I got the response "invalid user name 'admin@devry.edu'"
