Unable to create new user in WordPress Multisite

I am working on a WordPress Multisite, and while creating a new user or existing user in the WordPress backend (either on the main site or the sub site), it's showing me an error message saying "The requested user does not exist".

Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

The add user form can be slightly confusing on WordPress Multisite at first - I made the same mistake.

The top form you've highlighted there is for adding an existing user from the Multisite network to the current site. eg. if your user is already on another site in the network, this form can be used to give them access to the current site as well.

If you want to add a brand new user to the Multisite network and to the current site in one go, you want to use the form directly below this - the Add New User form.
