A problem with the user and multi-user picker fields, is that when you edit an issue you cannot see the display names of the selected users (JRASERVER-31023).
This is a problem for organisations that use machine-generated or otherwise obscure user names… common in large companies. When this is the case the user field will show something like "n1234567":
This simple javascript plugin shows the display name underneath the field (in edit mode only).
If you are a SR4J user you could plug the javascript into a script fragment, and modify it.
If not you can grab a standalone plugin from here.
