Description

This feature request aims to request the ability to change username while registering an account with university email. It happened in beta.dataverse.org, while I was in the process for registering and taking a look in frontend app. However, I was not able to complete registration as the username had a constant value provided by my university which included this char '@' and I was not able to change it.

Research direction

Start by tracing the frontend account-registration flow and the handling of the username supplied by the university Identity Provider. The change is complete when a user can replace an incompatible IdP-provided username, including one containing '@', and finish registration successfully.
