Username preference
[PARTS OF THIS CONTENT IS FOR WPO365 v24.0 WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED]
Usage By default, WPO365 will create new users in WordPress using the email address as a username (technically, WPO365 uses the preferred_username claim, if available, which more often than not is the same as the user's email address). Using the dropdown provided, administrators can reconfigure WPO365 to choose a different username when creating a new WordPress user.
| Option | Description |
| Default | If selected, WPO365 will take the following claim as username:
|
| Short | If selected, WPO365 will take the default value but truncate everything right from the '@' and the '@' itself e.g. john.doe@domain.com becomes simply john.doe. |
| Custom | If selected, a new input field will appear where you can type the claim that WPO365 must use as a username. If you enter here - for example - oid then WPO365 will create a new user with the user's Azure AD Object ID as username. |
| Please note Selecting Short is not recommended, if users sign in from multiple domains. In that case there is a significant risk that user john.doe@domain1.com and john.doe@domain2.com will access one and the same account. |
| Please note When selecting Custom, you must potentially also update the Order for matching users (on the plugin's Single Sign-on page) so that the option Custom is added as the first item.  |
