Gautam Borad commented on RANGER-381:
-------------------------------------

[~hanish.bansa] The patch looks good. However, if we are changing the validation, lets make sure we are *inclusive* of the regex that is supported by linux groups (which is : {{[_a-z][-0-9_a-z]*\$?}}) so groups imported from Ranger Usersync are not affected.

The regex you are using is : {{/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_'.&-]*[A-Za-z0-9]$/}}

> 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.
