Hi @dduffy ,
Would you be open to sharing this idea on our feature request forum here: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general ?
Also, if you see usernames that don’t fit to naming conventions, you can update user information via, e.g. API: https://api.mattermost.com/#tag/users%2Fpaths%2F~1users~1{user_id}%2Fput ?

Hi Amy
Thanks for the reply
We already have an API workflow that takes from a production database and updates the MM user database.
This is more so to restrict users ability to change these names via the settings page. Ideally a system setting to disable these fields for non-admin users.
