Creating users with username instead of email address.
We use an external login provider and do not use email address as the username. In previous versions I could edit any user and modify the username. However, as of 7.7, when I create a new user it sets the username to the email address and does not display the username for edit unless it is different than the email address. I currently have to create a new user, then manually edit the record in the "umbracoUser" table to change the username, then I can see the username in the user record. I need an option to always show the username, even if it is the same as the email address.
I know this post is dated, but I came across it while searching for something else. There is a setting in the /config/umbracoSettings.config file for <usernameIsEmail>true</usernameIsEmail> and you can set this to false to show the username field as well as the email field for your umbraco users.
