About General Articles
LIVEcommunity's General Articles area is home to how-to resources, technical documentation, and discussions with Accepted Solutions that turn into articles related to all Palo Alto Networks products.
This Nominated Discussion Article is based on the post "Palo Alto Firewall Commit Error" by @Dhirajjagdale and answered by @BPry.   Hi,   I'm getting the below Validation error after committing the changes in firewall.   As I checked there is no user in the local user database. Please help to identify the issue.      Validation Error: mgt-config -> users -> operator is invalid. it is a system user name mgt config -> users is invalid Commit failed   Most systems usually have a list of reserved words that you can't use as they are used by the system internally.   In this case, the error isn't complaining about a local user, but rather about an administrator account that you created using  such a reserved word.   The name "operator" is not a feasible name to configure as a user, application, object, etc as it is used by the firewall internally. Deleting the user or renaming it will solv your problem.
