Description
When selecting users as when creating a share, the display names are shown. Normally this is what you want.
In big installations you often have more than one person with the same first- and last name, but obviously different user names. When searching for a user in the search widget you can not tell which is which.
Suggestion:
Add an option to show user name and or email address in the results of search widgets

Research direction
Start by locating the search widgets that render user results and read their current display-name handling. Clarify whether the option should expose usernames, email addresses, or both, then verify that duplicate display names can be distinguished in share creation and other user-selection searches.
