    Editing loginname in Umbraco 7.7

    We just recently upgraded a site to 7.7.

    We use AD for login, so in the past we have added the user in Umbraco with the AD loginname and then we validate the user against AD on login

    However now in 7.7 we can not edit the loginname when we create a new user, only allows email address.

    I can't find any specific documentation on this. Is there a setting or something that will allow the username to be edited?

    Hi Nadia,

    it is a setting in umbracoSettings.config. It's called

    <security>
    <!-- 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 -->
    <usernameIsEmail>true</usernameIsEmail>
</security>

    If you set the setting to false (and add it if it's not present) you'll see two seperate fields for username and emailaddress.

    Cheerio, Jeffrey

    btw: I've extended the documentation with this info: https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoDocs/pull/649. For any other documentation regarding the umbracoSettings.config you can check out this page: https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Config/umbracoSettings/
