The problem

When you are renaming a user, you see a Warning Popup that says Friendly is reserved

Why this happens

There are several usernames which are reserved for internal use by the Makerble application.

Among these are the names edit and admin.

For this reason, you will see a Warning Message saying Friendly is reserved if you try to

  • sign up as a user using those names

  • rename your own user account to have those names

  • rename an Organisation-controlled User to have one of those names.

Your user names should be the real names of people - apart from the exceptional cases where a person’s real name includes a reserved word, such as Admin or Edit.

The solution

  • If you are renaming users as part of the deactivation process and you do not want to use the real name of the user: Rename the user to an alternative name e.g.

    • “z - not in use - 1”,

    • “z - not in use - 2”

    • etc.

  • No labels
