I am trying to add new users in a flow using the Resource Update node. It keeps failing with the return message of "Unable to store USERNAME object, creation failed. Original Exception: Could not create object of type People".

I'm not sure what the problem is. I can add users using the security administrators piece without any issues.

Maybe it has something to do with who the default processflow user is. Who is the userid for that workunit? Is that userid a security administrator?

Are you reading from a file? Is the UserName value formatted correctly (number of characters, etc.)?

I am creating the USERNAME from values read from a file by concatenating and substringing. The error message does show the correct UserName in it (I just used USERNAME in my message above).

If you send me your file and flow I'd be happy to look it over for you.

Thanks for the offer David but this is resolved now. It appears even though Name is an optional attribute, if you use a variable to populate it, that variable must have a value. The variable I was using did not have a value assigned to it during my test. When I added a value, the add worked.
