Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Usernames can be all funny combinations of characters, people think of. Identifying users as the actual person, you want to collaborate with, can be a challenging task then.

Example: user's username is "researchCat007". You dont know who this person is. Exchanging that information with several collaborators can become very cumbersome for project managers and thus increases frustration easily.

However: Full names fall under the protection by the GDPR, since they are Art 6 data. In order the use them within the platform, we need to adjust the data privacy agreement.

Describe the solution you'd like Render the actual user full name next to the username, and enable the search for both. Bonus points: Enable search by the ORDiD and render the ORCiD (with URL to the public ORCiD entry!).

Describe alternatives you've considered No alternative imo.
