Hey BW, now that I’ve read [[Implemented] Alias instead of plex.tv usernames](https://forums.plex.tv/t/implemented-alias-instead-of-plex-tv-usernames/83502) and [Edit Profile | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/edit-profile/) again, it is clear that I had misunderstood. Would be nice for the server admin to set their own nicknames for their unmanaged users, though.
