I am implementing a group synchronization feature in my custom authPlugin and noticed that the ug_group field in the user_groups table is only 16 characters long, which is not nearly long enough! A quick audit of the code revealed no problem with simply modifying the database schema to increase the field length (I hope). Anyway, I was curious if the devs would entertain increasing the group name length to something less restrictive, say 64 or 128 characters. Also, can someone confirm that modifying the field length in the database won't cause any irregularities?
Thank you,
