> 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.
