What are the guidelines around creating a custom username for my Page or profile?
Here are a few things to keep in mind when you create a custom username:
- You can't claim a username someone else is already using.
- Choose a username you'll be happy with for the long term. Usernames are not transferable, and you can only change your username once.
- Usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period (".").
- Periods (".") and capitalization don't count as a part of a username. For example, johnsmith55, John.Smith55 and john.smith.55 are all considered the same username.
- Usernames must be at least 5 characters long and can't contain generic terms or extensions (ex: .com, .net).
- You must be an admin to choose a username for a Page.
- Your username must adhere to the 971 Portal Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
