AGO and Enterprise, by default, display the owner's username in item pages, item cards, and in pop-ups that show last updated/edited by. I am proposing that there should be an organization setting to control what value of the users profile is displayed.
Options could be:
- Username
- First/Preferred + Last Name: Jane Doe
- First letter of First/Preferred Name + Last Name: J. Doe
- First/Preferred Name + first letter of Last Name: Jane D.
Use cases
1) Security: this allows the org to determine whether the username should be shared which may present a security issue; see https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/in-agol-content-descriptions-don-t-expose/idi-p/94...
2) Orgs that enable SAML may have accounts created based on employer ID, email address, or other ID, and prefer to see a value such as the members name listed as the item owner which is more readable/recognizable
