Hi. I am a Plex user here. I love the software/service. I have several friends who also have Plex accounts, and I’m never really sure which account name that actually goes with my friends. Suggest adding a way for an admin of an individual Plex server account to be able to add an “Also Known As” so we can easily administrate those users. Is anyone else finding it difficult to remember the names of people and their account names? ---

You know, those people with their own accounts and received an invite from me? Few (if any) of mine have chosen to set anything (or what they’ve set doesn’t pass to my server) so I see user names like xyzzy3.1415 which aren’t especially useful. The icons are just a letter on a colored background, but most of them appear to be a letter that doesn’t seem related to the user’s real name, s… ---
