I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.
Verify Feature Scope
I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.
Problem Description
Sometimes it's a really realistic need that you gotta change the displayname of a user in the OIDC platform, while the name is not synced to open-webui.
Desired Solution you'd like
Add an attribute called ENABLE_OAUTH_NAME_SYNC. As email and sub are used as OIDC identifiers, name doesn't bother that much. Just like how jit group sync and role sync, the name sync can work the same way.
