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.
