Howdy, How can I set up to use a users "Full Name" instead of the usnername login? My company uses our employee ID for the logon using LDAP and its confusing to see "employee587948" vs "Johnny Appleseed." LDAP does sync the Name into NetBox. Thanks! |

Hi Jake, I don’t believe there’s a built‑in NetBox setting to replace usernames with full names everywhere in the UI. Where a column chooser is available, you can add a Full name column (for example, on the Changelog table), but some views will still show the username. If you really want to change the login identifier from an employee ID to a name‑based attribute, you’d need to adjust your LDAP search/filter and attribute mapping to use a unique attribute (e.g., Hope that helps! |

Howdy, We just want to change what is displayed, not how we log in. I'm gonna take it as 'not possible' right now. Thanks for your input! -Jake |

Hi Jake,

If you really want to change the login identifier from an employee ID to a name‑based attribute, you’d need to adjust your LDAP search/filter and attribute mapping to use a unique attribute (e.g.,
displayNameorcn). Be cautious: full names aren’t guaranteed to be unique and can change. If you go this route, plan a one‑time migration to reconcile existing users—otherwise people may end up with duplicate NetBox accounts.Hop…
