Craig Patrick updated NIFI-15499:
---------------------------------
Description:
At the moment, throughout NiFi the user information is displayed as what could
be considered their "username" - that is, the information they use to log in.
In some instances this might be convoluted, and in others is difficult to
comprehend. As an example, for our integrations all of our users are LDAP and
so we have things like:
CN=my_user,OU=... etc etc.
It would be nice if we could extend the user interface so we could add a
"Display Name" which would be used throughout the UI so instead of the above,
we could even name people as "Steve in Accounts" and clearly see who is making
changes to processes, or who is updating flows - especially if usernames are
even more obfuscated and convoluted.
