Display name of users in Circles are not the same as in Contacts

[chrda81]

Hi,

I'm using Nextcloud AIO v7.11.2 (Nextcloud Hub 6 - 27.1.5) with Circles 27.0.1. When newly added users via SAML are filling out their contact details and set first name and family name, the contacts display name is shown with this both attributes in the Contacts app. The Circle app still shows the username which makes it hard in my case for maintain the Circle groups, because the usernames are randomly generated letters in the ID Provider. Is there a possibility to tell Circles what name to display?

Stumbling over this, having the opposite problem: our current installation shows in circle members only real names. The problem with that is that without more information (no profile image set), I cannot distinguish two people with the same name - which is not just a theoretical issue, but a very real one right now. So: if real names will be displayed, there also needs to be a possibility to view something that identifies users uniquely.

This is probably fixed with #1648, #1682 and nextcloud/user_saml#873

@knarrff As the problem you describe is a different one please open a new issue for it :-) Thanks!
