Michael,

1) Are you root when you attempt to run "useradd"? You only have
access to user management commands if you're root or if you have the
ability to run the program with sudo (i.e. "sudo useradd").

2) If you're sure you've got root permissions, try using "adduser" instead.

What Linux distribution are you running?

avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.
