Problem Description

It's not an important issue, but when I allowed users to sign up themselves "Don't have an account? Sign up", then their user has automatically some initials/signums added to their profile image. When I added users as an admin either manually or via CSV upload, they are not given initials, and the profile image is generic. Currently, after the initial sign-up, there's no way to actually change the assigned initials, or add a profile image.

Desired Solution you'd like

I'm open to a lot of possibilities:

  • MINIMAL CHANGE: making behaviour consistent, by also adding a user profile with initials when a user is created by admin, just like upon self sign-up
  • EVEN BETTER: allowing users and admins to change the initials on the user profile image

I don't know if you plan to develop more sharing/user interactions. If so, then allowing users and admins to upload a user photo would make these interactions friendlier.

"EVEN BETTER: allowing users and admins to change the initials on the user profile image"
This can be done on the user's account page with use initials and use gravatar.

I see nowhere for the admin to change a user's initials/gravatar choice.
You can supply a default user profile image when adding a user via API, 'user.png' appears to be the default, which is the grey silhouette.

Also, users can click on the grey profile image and upload their own.

@FooleanBool Thanks a lot. Now that I see the users can manage this themselves and it's also possible via the API, the administrator management via the GUI is not such a high priority for me, but "Nice to Have." Feel free to close the ticket if you have higher priorities.
