How to change display name

How to change display name

Hi Everyone,

A user would like to change his Jira display name (remove middle name) but Jira accts are controlled through Azure AD. Is it correct to conclude that the display name has to be changed in his Azure AD profile? If not, how is this accomplished?

Much appreciated,

Hi @JRodney Estrada

it seems your account Full name is being managed not on Jira but by your SSO provider (Azure). So changes should be done there. However the user can change the Public Name here

The linked worked for me so hopefully it'll work for the user too.

Thank you! @Prince Nyeche

I still think this should be improved. A User should be able to edit his details, and as an Admin I should also be able to edit his Firstname Lastname.
