About user display names for enterprises
A user display name controls how enterprise members are shown across GitHub Enterprise. When the feature is enabled, a member’s profile name (first and last name) appears alongside their username in places like repositories, issues, pull requests, and GitHub Discussions. The setting applies to public, private, and internal repositories within your enterprise's organizations.
When set at the enterprise level, this policy is applied across all organizations within your enterprise.
Once configured, your chosen display format will be visible throughout these key areas:
- Pull requests: reviewers, assignees, pull request authors, activities, comments, @-mentions, and commits
- Issues: assignee, comments, activities, @-mentions, and owner
- Discussions: discussion owners, comments, and @-mentions
- Projects: assignee
By default:
- GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Enterprise Managed Users and GitHub Enterprise Server show profile names alongside usernames.
- All other enterprise accounts show usernames only.
