**As an** OpenProject user
**I want to** identify the user I want to select
**So that** I don't select the wrong user, e.g. when managing project members, sharings and group memberships.
**Background information about the underlying information**
* There are very large OpenProject installations with > 10 k users.
* In those large installations the chances of redundant names increases.
* This imposes the risk to select the wrong users.

**Complexity analysis**
* Adding global permission 5 - 10 PD
* Extending API 2 - 5 PD
* Extending autocompleter with mail information 2 PD
* Adding popover for users 2 - 8 PD
**Discussed, but rejected ideas:**
* Adding new user attributes such organization, team and department, and allowing them to be displayed
* Allowing builtin attributes like organization/departmant or custom fields to be synchronized from LDAP
