    I know that is a silly feature but … Is possible add a field called name in the Users table?
    I would like know who is under the username 🙂 In addition, the username can not have any blank space.

        I know 🙂 But this field is the username, and not the name of the user 😉
        Example:
        Username: Wworkman001
        Name: Wayne Workman

        Usually the username, for example in my university, is unreadble or a number, you can not identify the user. We can call it friendly “username”.

          So what you really want is a friendly name field (or display name in AD terms) in the user management table.

              @Fernando-Gietz That would sound like a logical request. I worked for a company where all of the user IDs were 6 digit number string. There was not way to know that user ID 123456 was Bob in accounting. This was by design. But on the flip side it was hard to find out that user 987654 had a file open and locked and who that was. We had to have a lookup table to resolve this.

                Exactly 🙂
                Actually I have 60 technicians using FOG and I want to identify the technician to know who is doing tasks in the server.

                  @Fernando-Gietz Also what you are asking is a bit more than just adding a field to the database and a way to edit it. You want to display (show) the display name in the web gui where the user name now displays. (just trying to set the proper scope to the request). I don’t have any say so if it will happen or not. But the full intent needs to be spelled out for the senior developers.

                    Or I can just magically add it?

                      No I’m sorry you may not. This has to be expressed a many hours of manual labor to get new features added to the core code, otherwise everyone will want new stuff added just because you are a nice guy. 😉

                        I just separated the “change password” and “edit fields” elements. Hopefully this doesn’t mean much recoding on your part for the Access control plugin you’re working on @Fernando-Gietz

                          It’s a little barter XD
                          He added a field in the database and I developed the access control plugin. Personally I think I’m losing 😉
