Well that is the way the config is designed at the moment, however I can see cases where this would not be the intended behaviour.

allow_user_to_change_display_name=false in config.php

admin should be able to change user name

@focparty Display Name and Username are two different things. Could you elaborate?

As #1302 has been closed as duplicate of this issue, I'd like to throw in my support for enabling email modification independently from OC_User::canUserChangeDisplayName. There are in fact use cases where changing the display name should be disabled while changing email should be enabled.

After some discussion with @blizzz , it might be necessary to consider that user_ldap overwrites the email value in oc_preferences in case emails are present in LDAP. So for example the user_ldap backend could provide the email set-ability depending on whether an LDAP email attribute is set or not.

@MorrisJobke It would be great to know what you have in mind about how to implement this :)

[githubos1]

I suggest:
'allow_user_to_change_display_name' => false,

should only prevent USERS from changing their DisplayName Settings and not automatically also their e-mail settings, so maybe an additional setting could be implemented like:
'allow_user_to_change_email_address' => false, ???

MUCH MORE IMPORTANT: this very important feature (when set to "false" should not impact ADMINS from changing or setting UserScreenName and UserEmail as well as it functions right now (I'm using 12.0.0. beta3 !!)

11.0.3 seems to NOT be working from ./index.php/settings/users
I can't change any details on this screen...

Have you set allow_user_to_change_display_name to false? If so: remove this line from the config and it should work again. That's currently a limitation we have.

[OutbackMatt]

The config that is built automatically doesn't include that line at all.
Specifically when I add that line = true then there is no change.

I can't make changes to user full name or add an email address, all I can do is allocate the user to groups and set them as admin for those groups.

Ideally, I'd like a screen similar to my own ./index.php/settings/personal page that would all of these settings to be changed for each user by the server admin
