**Current situation**
* Installation with 13k+ users, name format set to "last name first name", users synchronized via ldap groups
* For users with the same name, e.g. "Peter Schmitz", it is not possible to determine which group / department they belong to before adding them to projects
* Although #55602 makes it possible to subsequently check the group membership, it is not very practical, as adding users to projects just to check their group membership may generate notifications for the wrong people, causing confusion and support effort
**Implementation sketch** **Required change**
* (Possibly add more fixed attributes to the user)
* Provide a configuration to allow which field/fields to show next to users in the application
* Show this infomration next to users:
* In the member autocompleter
* In the invitation flow
* In work package assignee or user selection autocompleters
* In the activity stream
Basic mockup:

**Group display proposal**
* The group membership of users should be displayed in the drop-down field "Add user" in the members module (below the user name)
* This is limited to the member invitation flow, and it's not possible to identify the important groups to show. For some users such as myself, information will be arbitrarily cut off
* <img class="op-uc-image op-uc-image_inline" src="/api/v3/attachments/114077/content">
**Additional info**
* Alternatively, a freely selectable ldap attribute could be displayed
* Places where displaying the group membership or other distinguishing features may also be useful (but not that relevant, as the probability of names being the same among the members of a project is rather unlikely):
* Work Packages
* Assignee
* Accountable
* Watchers
* Sharing
* Boards
* Team Planer
* Meetings
