Google Workspace Support, Aaliyah Denise: Hello! I hope you’re doing well.
admin @myhill: One item is adding an ID field option to appear beside the user account name across all Google Workspace platforms. We need this to appear in the default profile name display. We came from Meta Workplace, which already closed down, and their system had this ID tag feature. It is very useful because it allows us to identify a user on the onset. Especially during Google meet sessions we need to know who are coming in by not just identifying the name but the OU they belong to. If this is still not available can you point us to a Google Workspace developer whom we can hire for this customisation if it is allowed.
admin @myhill: I summarized it here for you.
admin @myhill: Also, will the use of active directly solve this if we can add an ID tag in the directory database?
Google Workspace Support, Aaliyah Denise: Thank you for providing a detailed information about your concern today!
admin @myhill: Also, will the use of active directory solve this if we can add an ID tag in the directory database?
admin @myhill: I hope you could see how impt this is. Just like in any company or institutions, people move around with IDs. This needs to be replicated in closed Google Workspaces
Google Workspace Support, Aaliyah Denise: I totally understand how important it is to achieve your goal however, I’m afraid that features like ID tags and OU being visible aren’t available in Google Workspace yet. I am seeing the benefits of this functionality not only for you but for all other customers. Thus, we are so much willing to help out by making this feature available in the future. We need your help in submitting feature ideas.
=========================
Looking for a Google Workspace developer whom we can hire for this? We could not scale our non-profit if this feature is not in place. It’s gonna be chaos. Let us be your sandbox, then charge Google for the added feature.
