Additional info

Same as RHEL 8, RHEL 7.7 anaconda is automatically decrease max UID to 4,294,967,295

It's not encounter errors but it's not create user.

UID 4,294,967,294 is ok for create user
Comment 3 Jan Stodola 2020-10-01 19:46:20 UTC 
BTW, the same problem needs to be fixed for GID.
Comment 4 Vladimír Slávik 2020-10-06 19:00:20 UTC 
Note to self: There is something else besides the reported issue. Actual user creation happens in a module, and the UIDs/GIDs come from GUI via D-Bus... as signed 32-bit int... so capped at half the available range.
