Hanish Bansal commented on RANGER-381:
--------------------------------------
[~gautamborad] I would suggest to use expression {noformat}
/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_'.&-]*[A-Za-z0-9]$/ {noformat} as regex {noformat}
[_a-z][-0-9_a-z]*\$? {noformat} is not allowing to create user/group with dot
character but linux(centos 6.4) allow to create user/group with dot character.
> Not able to create group with dot character

>
> When creating group with dot in name (E.g. "hanish.bansal") from Ranger admin
> UI, it gives error message "Please enter valid name".
> Since linux group naming convention allow dot (.) character, so same should
> be allowed from Ranger admin UI.
