[midPoint] Clarification on “system user” vs “person” and changing label from name to username

[Claudia Rovere]

Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on customizing the user interface in midPoint (version 4.9.2), and I have two questions:

  1.  I’d like to better understand the difference between a system user and a person in midPoint. How are they conceptually and functionally different?
  2.  My goal is to change the label “name” to “username” on the user details page. I’ve read some discussions suggesting that this might be possible through an object template or localization file, but I’m not completely sure about the best approach in midPoint 4.9.2.
Could someone please confirm the correct way to do this, or point me to the relevant documentation?

Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards,
