Name of a new group

AI-generated summary

In a support discussion titled ‘Name of a new group,’ verilog15 asks whether group names must be in English and seeks clarification on the differences between the three input fields: ‘name,’ ‘group name,’ and ‘default title.’ ondrej explains that ‘name’ must use only numbers, letters, dashes, and underscores; ‘group name’ is the full display name; and ‘default title’ assigns a title to all members. ondrej also advises removing the title via the user admin page to stop it from appearing beside usernames. sam suggests Hebrew should work and asks if Unicode usernames are enabled, tagging gerhard. verilog15 confirms enabling Unicode characters resolved the issue and proposes splitting Unicode support into separate settings for usernames and group names as a future enhancement.

Hi all,
I’m trying to create a new group. In the first section I should enter a name:


Should it be in English? Because it does not give me to enter non-english letters.
Also, what is the difference between those three sections?
And one last question. How can I undo displaying the group name beside the user’s name?

  • name = the name of your group. must only include numbers, letters, dashes, and underscores

  • group name = the full name of the group.

  • default title = gives the title you enter to every member of the group.

I assume that you mean the title?
Either remove the default title or go to user admin page and remove it from there.

It should work in Hebrew; can you confirm it is failing for a single Hebrew word? Do you have Unicode usernames enabled? Cc @gerhard

Thank you for the explanation. I can’t find it in the admin page. Can you tell me what is the name of the settings?

Allowing Unicode characters solved the problem :slight_smile:
Maybe separating this option into two suboptions (usernames and group names) could be a nice feature :smiley:
