title: How to create user with MySQL Workbench when username is an e-mail address?
body: <p>From the MySQL command line, I can execute the following SQL to create a user whose username is his e-mail address:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE USER 'julio@gmail.com'@'%'
  IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I need to create the users from the Schema Privileges section of the MySQL Workbench and then forward engineer them into a database.</p>

  <p>I am using Workbench 6.1 Community Edition and MySQL Server 5.6.  I have tried several different formats for the usernames but all of them create the wrong user or fail when I try to forward engineer them.</p>
  
  <pre><code>julio@gmail.com - makes the user julio at the host gmail.com
  'julio@gmail.com' - attempts to make the user ''julio'@'gmail.com'' which simply fails
  'julio@gmail.com'@'%' - also fails
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I create a user from the MySQL Workbench when the user name is an e-mail address?</p>
