Make user names cleaner

[adelavega]

Currently they are ugly oauth2 IDs

• change user names to name instead of user.sub

[nicoalee]

@jdkent I don't think this task is super straighforward. When a user clones a study, we save their given auth0 ID (user.sub).

The easiest solution would be to save the user's name/username when they clone the study. However, this may eventually be out of date if the user changes their name/username at a later time.

Otherwise, could we use auth0 and force users to come up with a unique username that they would use? How is it done in neuroscout @adelavega ?

I think Auth0 has a mechanism to access the name field.
Here is an example for the development server:

get name field from Auth0 (using the management api token)

https://dev-mui7zm42.us.auth0.com/api/v2/users/auth0%7C62e0e6c9dd47048572613b4d?fields=name&include_fields=true

Management API token

using the auth0 management api token from here: https://manage.auth0.com/dashboard/us/dev-mui7zm42/apis/60f60987000aa700428537c5/test

What could be a solution is adding an endpooint to /users/ where a PUT request would call auth0 to update there and update our database at the same time.

@jdkent It's trivial to get the name of the user currently logged in; however, what about the list of studies that have a sourceId (a user cloned the study)?
When we display public studies in the search page, those other auth0 IDs belonging to other users will be displayed.

Another solution would just be to do a mapping on the frontend. We can gather all userIDs that are displayed on the page and call the management API: https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/user-search/retrieve-users-with-get-users-endpoint

Update:

Our solution will be to create a displayName column in the backend user table.
This property will be added to the study return object and any other object that the user owns (studysets, meta-analyses, etc)

This will replace the FE auth0IDs for a more user friendly visual.

In the future, we will want to be able to update their profile and give them the ability to update their display name

[nicoalee]

still a WIP
