grant alter trace to a domain account

surprisingly, couldn't find anything about granting alter trace permissions to a domain account.

I try to run following sql:

GRANT ALTERTRACE TO MyDomain\User1;
GO

And get the following error when executing:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near '\'.

What is correct SQL to grant alter trace permissions to a domain account?

TIA.

You must enclose the name between brackets:

GRANT ALTER TRACE TO [MyDomain\User1];

Thanks
