Please use full-name rather than user-id

Description

Please use full-name rather than user-id in any place in the UI that displays users. ie. On call schedule, adding users to groups, etc...

>>>
Sounds like a possible support enhancement Bug issue we could raise pulling the full name?

I had the same problem ("Hey, who's hh9rh66 again?!") and added mouse-
over text to the usernames in the on-call editor interface in 1.3.2.
Hover over a username and you'll get the full name. You could flip-
flop the two (have the link be the full name and the hover text be
the username) without compiled code changes. Just edit admin/
userGroupView/roles/view.jsp.

I've tested this behaviour in v21 and it's still existing. In group and on-call menu you only see the user ids.

I investigated this during the recent UI work but the role code needs some refactoring before we can add more parameters to the model objects here. Leaving in backlog.

Patch works for admin views but not for home/On-Call Schedule

Display full names in on-call role viewer

Applying this patch in the appropriate webapp root (OPENNMS_HOME/webapps/opennms or OPENNMS_HOME/jetty-webapps/opennms) will cause the on-call role viewer to display users' full names, with their short usernames as tooltips. This is the opposite of the current behavior.

I'm not sure that using full names throughout the webUI makes sense for all environments. It would be best, I think, if this behavior were configurable.

For the specific case of the on-call roles editor, you can change this behavior with a simple JSP edit below the appropriate webapp root (OPENNMS_HOME/webapps/opennms or OPENNMS_HOME/jetty-webapps/opennms), no recompiling or restarting needed. See attached patch.
