Description

The administrative view shows a table of all guests, which includes the real name of each such user, as well as the e-mail address, used as a sign-in alias. However, administrators should have the ability to edit the name in addition to merely viewing it. (Currently, they can do so only through the management interface for general users, which is also confusing, because it places guest and regular users under the same management system.)

Research direction

Start by locating the administrative guest table and the existing general-user name editing flow. Compare how guest names are displayed and persisted, then implement editing from the guest administration view. Done means an administrator can change a guest's real name there without using the general user management interface.
