New Role, admin feature errors with hyphen

Seeing some strange behavior as an admin in my denodo Rolemangement screen. when I try to create a rolename with hyphens, ie "rolename-john' I get a 'Verify the folliwing issue > Name: Invalid field name." I know it used to work as we have roles already there with hyphens. quite bizzar, but I need these roles to have hyphens.

Hi, You could create role names with hyphens in 2 ways. 1. Change the identifiers charset to Unicode in the Administration --> Server configuration--> Identifiers charset menu option. Unicode allows to use any character in the names of the elements (views , roles users) including hyphens and you would be able to create roles with hyphens in the name from the Administration --> Role management menu. To know more about [identifiers charset](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/8.0/vdp/administration/server_configuration/identifiers_charset/identifiers_charset) and its implications you can take a look at Identifiers charset Virtual DataPort guide. 2. Create Roles using the “Create Role” VQL statement by enclosing the role name in double quotes in VQL Shell. Ex:- Create Role “role-sales” grant connect to sales_db. Note that if the identifiers charset is set to Restricted then you would always have to put the role name in double quotes in VQL statements. Ex:- Desc “role-sales”. You can take a look at [Creating Roles](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/vdp/vql/creating_databases_users_roles_and_access_privileges/managing_users/managing_user_roles) Virtual DataPort guide for details on creating roles. Hope this helps.
