Allow changing your displayname as a user

[MTRNord]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is frustrating to not set a displayname. Especially that it is based on email as those maybe should not be public to others.

Describe the solution you'd like An input to change the displayname would be nice on an account level.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context My email starts with my private name and I prefer using a nickname in the internet. Another person does emails by service. So their displayname is a useless one thats the name of the hedgedoc instead.

This is about the email based login.

We're aware of this and version 2.0 will have the option to change your display name. See the UI test for the current state on this.

As we're currently not using the email address for anything else than being login identifier and libravatar profile picture source, you could use an email address like "[email protected]" in the meanwhile when creating an account.

i just setup 1.8.2 with ldap, really nice and simple :)

Since 2.0 adds profile settings and displayname configuration it would be great to get this info out of ldap attributes (like givenname + Surname). Our setup is mainly for internal use so having the full name displayed instead of the username would be nice :)

2.0 will have the option to define sync sources, so yes LDAP info could be used. See this document for the planned details: https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc/blob/10f92de94e911932d75ba7b918ae7ff811bb25ef/docs/content/dev/authentication.md

As there is https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc/blob/develop/backend/src/users/users.service.ts#L66-L75 already, I think this is done.
