Description
My university uses nextcloud/circles.
Some students have the same exact name (firstname and lastname) than some teachers.
When I want to share a folder with this kind of users, the list only display the name of the users (firstname and lastname).
For example, the list displays something like:
- John Doe
- John Doe
How can I choose the right one?!
A solution could be to display a list like this:
- John Doe (john.doe@teacher.univ.edu)
- John Doe (john.doe@students.univ.edu)
or
- John Doe
(john.doe@teacher.univ.edu) - John Doe
(john.doe@students.univ.edu)

Start by locating the user-selection list in the Circles sharing flow, since the issue does not name a file or test. Reproduce the case with two users who share a name and verify that an additional identifier such as an email address distinguishes the entries.
