Hello! We are trying to hide the username field from the Create and Edit User forms and use the email address for the username instead.

I have successfully removed the username field from the Angular UI and moved the email field to the top like this:

export function removeUserNameContributor(
  propList: FormPropList<IdentityUserDto>
) {
  propList.dropByValue(
    'userName',
    (prop, text) => prop.name === text
  )
  let emailPropIndex = propList.findIndex(p => p.value.name == 'email');
  propList.addHead(propList.get(emailPropIndex).value);
  propList.dropByIndex(emailPropIndex + 1);
}

export const identityEntityCreateFormPropContributors: IdentityCreateFormPropContributors = {
  [eIdentityComponents.Users]: [
    removeUserNameContributor
  ]
}

export const identityEntityEditFormPropContributors: IdentityEditFormPropContributors = {
  [eIdentityComponents.Users]: [
    removeUserNameContributor
  ]
}

{
    path: 'identity',
    loadChildren: () => {
      import('./identity/identity.module').then(m => m.IdentityOverrideModule)
      return import('@volo/abp.ng.identity').then((m) => m.IdentityModule.forLazy({
        createFormPropContributors: identityEntityCreateFormPropContributors,
        editFormPropContributors: identityEntityEditFormPropContributors,
      }))
    }
},

I've also overwritten the CreateAsync method to set the username to the email address:

[Authorize(IdentityPermissions.Users.Create)]
public override async Task<IdentityUserDto> CreateAsync(IdentityUserCreateDto input)
{
    var user = new Volo.Abp.Identity.IdentityUser(
        GuidGenerator.Create(),
        input.Email,
        input.Email,
        CurrentTenant.Id
    );
    
    input.MapExtraPropertiesTo(user);

    (await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, input.Password)).CheckErrors();
    
    ...
}

But I am unable to remove the Required attribute from UserName on IdentityUserCreateDto so I get the following error from the form:

In my ...DtoExtensions.cs I have tried:

ObjectExtensionManager.Instance
.AddOrUpdateProperty<string > (
    new[]
    {
        typeof(IdentityUserCreateDto),
    },
    "UserName",
    options => 
    {
        options.Attributes.Clear();
        options.Validators.Clear();
    }
);

and

ObjectExtensionManager.Instance
.AddOrUpdate<IdentityUserCreateDto>(objConfig =>
{
    objConfig.AddOrUpdateProperty<string>("UserName", propertyConfig =>
    {
        propertyConfig.Attributes.Clear();
        propertyConfig.Validators.Clear();
    });
});

and have tried substituting IdentityUserCreateDto with IdentityUserCreateOrUpdateDtoBase but none of these solutions have removed the Required attribute.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,

    The UserName is required, you need to change the module source code, but it has a lot of work to do.

    I've also overwritten the CreateAsync method to set the username to the email address:

    You can use email as a user name in the front end. it should be working.

    We're just visually hiding the concept of a UserName by setting UserName = EmailAddress. That way users are created and sign in using only their email address, with no option for a different username.

    I ended up solving my issue by adding a hidden userName property with a default value.

    export function removeUserNameContributor(
      propList: FormPropList<IdentityUserDto>
    ) {
      let previousUserNameProp = propList.get(propList.findIndex(p => p.value.name == 'userName')).value
      propList.dropByValue(
        'userName',
        (prop, text) => prop.name === text
      )
      propList.addHead({
        ...previousUserNameProp,
        visible: c => false,
        defaultValue: 'DEFAULTVALUE'
      } as FormProp<IdentityUserDto>);
    
      let emailPropIndex = propList.findIndex(p => p.value.name == 'email');
      propList.addHead(propList.get(emailPropIndex).value);
      propList.dropByIndex(emailPropIndex + 1);
    }
    

    Then in CreateAsync I ignore the default value in the username and only use the email to create the user.

    var user = new Volo.Abp.Identity.IdentityUser(
        GuidGenerator.Create(),
        input.Email,
        input.Email,
        CurrentTenant.Id
    );
    

    Now the username for all users will be their email address.
