Summary

By default, the creation of groups is limited to 255 characters. If a group exceeding these characters is attempted to be created, the following message is displayed:

This group cannot be created
Try again later

At the browser's console, the following message is displayed:

{"key":"fieldConstraintsViolated","context":{"fieldViolations":[{"field":"createGroup.arg0.name","violations":[{"key":"A group name must not exceed the maximum allowed length of 255 characters."}]}]}}

If the group is created via user provisioning, there will have no limitation.

Suggestion

Since the creation of larger groups via user provisioning can impact the sync for new users, blocking them to access content (I.E. as this scenario in Confluence) this is a suggestion to either:

• Block user provisioning to create groups exceeding the character limit.
• Remove the 255 character limit for group creation, not impacting the sync for new users.
• Have a warning sharing that certain groups are exceeding the character limit.
