The creator of the events are not shown in the event's details page even though they are shown on the homepage.

lnsp commented 1 year ago

I don't think that they should be shown at all. These IDs are unique and identify individual users (especially as they directly map to TUM email addresses). Maybe we can include customizable nicknames?

Atharva-Mathapati commented 1 year ago

What do you think of showing real names instead? I feel that real names would provide more transparency and make events look more official. I think nicknames would take away from the seriousness.

We might have a problem with fetching the names from the LRZ-ID Although if we add an "organization" tag, we could circumvent that problem

AW-tum commented 1 year ago

Although we would then need to get some form of "Orga Admin", so one LRZ-ID that is allowed to post for a specific organization We could store organization + its corresponding admin LRZ-ID in a JSON file Tbh I wouldn't mind maintaining that and getting in contact with the specific organizations at TUM to keep it up to date

To summarize, we want

organizations (which are shown as the event creator's)
users may belong to one or more organization and can post on their behalf
if a user isn't posting on behalf of some organization, they only show up by their numeric user ID (which isn't even actively displayed)

Sounds reasonable to me. We could introduce the concept of org administrators which are capable of adding/removing users from the respective organization, this way it could either be self-administered or managed by some superuser which belongs to every org.
