Using my work account I would like to leave a comment on a plugin. However, I do not care to have my full first and last name displayed on the internet. I’ve changed my work name previously but it always gets changed back by my company. Can I have a nickname that will only show up for the public facing interface and not my company interface. I had to create a new personal account just so my full first and last name would not display when adding comments on plugins.
Adding Comments to Plugins
Hi
To fully understand this issue, are you saying that with your work Figma account, you are trying to change your Figma community handle, but it continues to revert to your previous one, which includes your Full Name? And if this is the case, do you sign in your work Figma account using SSO?
With a few more details, I can try to better assist with this situation.
Yes, that is correct it includes my full name, I’ve changed it but it always gets changed back to my full name. I do use SSO, to sign into my work account.
Thanks for confirming,
Since you sign in using SSO, by default, your account’s name will be your display name, which explains why the new nickname you’ve tried to set gets reversed. I’ve passed this onto our Community team to see what, if anything, can be done about this. I’ll follow up as soon as I hear back from the team.
Also on a related note, I downloaded a free plugin, only after the developer found my email (i’m assuming based on the user id) and contacted me did I realize the developer also receives my user ID upon download which is my full name which I cannot change.
Thanks for following up,
The team confirmed that these are both expected behavior, when using a work account that uses SSO, there’s no way to prevent changes to your community handle from reverting. The only temporary solution to prevent your full name from being shown in the community is using your personal account rather than your work account.
