Limits are following:
- Database name - up to 63 alphanumeric characters. Database name prefixes(Username or External ID of a subscription) are allowed but must be enabled first.
- Database user - up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Underscore and dash are allowed.
- Password length and allowed characters depend on the server Security Policy set at Tools & Settings > Security Policy > Password strength

Hi,
is it possible to use database user name more than 16 alphanumeric characters? Any workaround? I have a lot of troubles when migrating from other control panels.
I use:
Version Plesk Onyx v17.8.11_build1708180301.19 os_CentOS 7
OS CentOS Linux 7.5.1804 (Core)
MariaDB 10.2
