My real name was added through google sign up and I can't change it. I don't like it being available. Can this be changed?

If you go to [https://discuss.elastic.co/u/Zachary\_Kazanski/preferences/account](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/Zachary_Kazanski/preferences/account) you should be able to set it.

Thats the same page. I can get to the page Avatar Image \> Preference \> Account. I can edit my name, email, password, profile picture, but for some reason I cannot edit the username. It just renders as a static element. No Input, no edit button.

Ah ok, that must just be because I am an admin, sorry!

DM me what name you want and I will change if for you.
