Report builder should provide the name, user id and email address for Report Creator and Report Owners to allow differentiation of accounts with the same name.

In some scenarios user accounts can be created with the same name, but with different user id and email address (a typical scenario could be change of employment status or someone who has left and rejoined).

In many of the ELM tool, although the user name is presented first, often the name is augmented with the user id (for example when adding members to project areas or team areas) and in many scenarios, the name is a hyperlink which can be hovered over to reveal the user id and email or address, or can be clicked to access that information.

In Report Builder the  Report Creator and Report Owners are presented only as Text names, and the report owners can only be modified using their name, this makes it impossible to differentiate between different user accounts with the same name.  It would be better if report builder adopted the same approach as other ELM tools, to allow the editor to identify the user id and email address of the Report Creator and Report Owners in addition to the user name.

    This idea is delivered as part of JRS 7.0.3 where a new people picker component is available, instead of the classic people picker. The people picker is a dialog box for selecting users, see https://jazz.net/pub/new-noteworthy/jrs/7.0.3/7.0.3/index.html#34

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each idea suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has reviewed the idea, and based on our understanding, it is accepted as an uncommitted candidate.
