Adding Users/Editors/Admin with a dash "-"

Hi there, not sure if I'm looking in the right spot, but lets give this a try!

I'm trying to give access to an editor, but he has two last names. The names are seperated by a dash "-". For example: Jeffery Smith-Cardin.

The form doesn't accept dashes, yet his access depends on including both last names. Is there a workaround for this? Support is incredibly hard to find.

Thanks in advance

When adding a new backend user, the username cannot have dashes. However the first name and last name fields can include them. So I guess the work around is to put the dashes there.
