Username and Password Requirements

Usernames must meet the following requirements:

• Cannot be be blank or null.
• Cannot exceed 255 characters.

User passwords must meet the following requirements:

• Minimum of 8 characters (inclusive).
• Maximum of 64 characters (inclusive).
• May include any ASCII and Unicode characters, such as numbers, letters, an underscore, a star, or other such characters.

The user credentials validation in Tamr Core fails if these requirements are not met.

Important: Tamr Core applies password validation requirements only to user credentials that admins create or update directly in Tamr Core. LDAP and SAML may impose their own password requirements.

2. In the Create new user dialog, fill in values for the required fields Username and Password.
3. (Optional) Enter values for First, Last and Email.

Groups allow you to organize user permissions for multiple users at once. Group names cannot be changed.

To create a group:

1. In the top-right corner, select Users and Groups > Groups
2. Select Create new group.

4. (Optional) If this group will contain only admin users, toggle on the Admin setting. See Roles for Users and Groups for more information about the admin role.
