    No username for user when invited in 7.7.3

    When a user is invited/created in Umbraco, I am not able to specify a different name/username.

    Our installation has previously been upgraded from 7.2.0 and we have established a standard where the username is the company specified username, and the name is their actual name. For users previously created, the username field is specified as a separate field.

    Is this possible to do in 7.7.3?

    Just a guess, but this might be related to the following new setting in /config/umbracoSettings.config:

    <usernameIsEmail>true</usernameIsEmail>

    Maybe if you change it to false you will be able to change username?

    That's it, I really should have checked the file beforehand...

    The comment above this line:

    <!-- by default this is true and if not specified in config will be true. set to false to always show a separate username field in the back office user editor -->

    Cheers!

    Got a situation where it is still not showing up despite being set to false.

    • Touched web.config
    • Was an upgrade
    • v7.7.9
    • Tried Debug = true and false
    • Busted clientDependency cache

    Still no bueno.

    Looking into the Umbraco src for answers. Hope to report back soon.
