Vault 2022 User Display Name

[ThomasRambach]

In Vault 2021, our Vault usernames "User Name" are like {DOMAIN}/{USERNAME}

In Vault 2022, it removes the "User Name" field and replaces it with "Display Name" like {Lastname}, {Firstname}.

Generally, I like the options in Vault 2022 but is there a way to retain the "User Name" information like it had in Vault 2021? We have a lot of other systems that need to be updated that require this field as-is.

Good point. However, why email addresses and not the user's full name?

[ThomasRambach]

@ihayesjr We have a big enough organization that some names are duplicate based on how AD has them set. You really need to look at the email address sometimes for more common names.

@ThomasRambach 

Why not a combination of both the display name and email address?

For example:

Thomas Ramback (email address)

Or

Thomas Ramback (AD login)

@ihayesjr That does work. Except the column width takes up a lot of screen real estate.

Hi Irvin,

if you point out to the API.

I can´t find a class member for the display name inside the user class.

Do you have a link or code example?

What are you trying to accomplish through the API?

Hi Irvin,

i´ve got a code that reads the username when change the lifecycle.

With the old Vault Account login i get the old username of the logged in user.

with the new Autodesk Account login i only get the email of the Autodesk Account login.

So i´ve to adress this behaviour with changing my code to read the display name.

I would like to know how to use the parameter Vault_username as a filter in the customized report before, and now how to use the Display Name as a filter
