Show AD display names rather than User ID

PI AF shows who created and last edited an element, but does so by showing the user's ID in format "Domain\UserID" which is not always readable. It would be better to display the AD user's display name in these places to make it clear who performed the action. NOTE: This is similar to another request for PI Vision to also show AD display names rather than User ID https://feedback.osisoft.com/forums/320517/suggestions/20034214

    Many larger organizations have multiple AD users with the same name. Showing their name only may cause confusion as they are not unique. Any feedback for that scenario?

    Hi Stephen, to account for unique AD users who have the same name, both display name and user ID would be shown. This would be in the form "First Last (user@domain.com)" or "First Last (domain\user)", matching the layout utilised by Windows for user lookup.
