13.3.2 Group Names

Enter a group name from 1 to 32 characters. The first character must be
alphabetical (case insensitive, [A-Z a-z]); numeric characters are not allowed as
the first character.

The group name can only contain the following characters:

• Alphanumeric A-z 0-9. Unicode usernames are supported with CIFS logins, but

not FTP or web configurator logins.

• Spaces
• _ [underscores]
• . [periods]
• - [dashes]

Other limitations on group names are:

• All leading and trailing spaces are removed automatically.
• Multiple spaces within names are converted to a single space.
• Group names are case insensitive. The group name cannot be the same (no

matter the letter case) as an existing group. For example, if a group exists with

the name 'FAMILY', you cannot create a group named 'family'.

• The group name cannot be the same as a system group name such as

EVERYONE nor be the same as an existing group. Other reserved groups

names that are not allowed are:

• nobody
• root
• everyone
