Hello @Frank_Niedermann ,

welcome to the community of Nextcloud.

@Frank_Niedermann

is it possible to automatically use the E-Mail address as username?

Yes AFAIK.

Just give it a try

I tried but the pupils can select anything as username

I am actually running into the same issue.

People even can use Usernames with blanks inside:

And this is what every admin don’t want users to do at all

Maybe there is a need for two feature requests:

• set default user name = email address
• check user name if there are forbidden characters

Community, what do you think?
