Username Generation Rule for Supplier Contact User Accounts

Summary

How to set up a different generation rule for the username of supplier contact user accounts

When a user account is created for a supplier contact, email is used to generate the username by default.  This can be changed if other rule is preferred.  Please follow these steps:

• From Security Console, click on Administration
• Click on General tab
• Under User Preferences > Generation Rule, switch from E-Mail to a preferred rule, such as FirstName.LastName
• Save the change

Supplier user account created onward will use the new username generation rule.  Note that the username generation rule is applicable to all user accounts including non-supplier users.
