Setting validation rules

Registration Authority validation rules can only be written and assigned by Registration Authority Managers and Registrars, or Registry Administrators.

Registry-wide validation rules can only be written and assigned by Registry Administrators.

Validation Rules allow Registration Authority Managers and Registrars to set business rules for metadata within their Registration Authority, or allow Registry Administrators to set registry-wide rules for all content.

Validation Rules can be used to specify:

• Mandatory fields

• Uniqueness of fields

• Length of fields

• Formats of names.
