Description

Overview of the Feature Request
Finding users who should be granted access to files can sometimes be difficult. Dataverses sometimes generates convoluted usernames that are hard to find.
To make it easier to identify user accounts, it would be helpful if the email address were also displayed.

Mockup

“Grant permissions to users and groups by assigning them a role” should also use the lookup with email address.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the UI entry points for “Grant file access to users” and “Grant permissions to users and groups by assigning them a role,” then compare them with the linked mockup. Done means both user lookups display email addresses alongside usernames and remain usable for assigning roles.
