Multiple Users with same first_name and last_name not possible?

Former Member
Former Member
Hello, If I create two users: 
<first_name>Joe</first_name>
<last_name>Doe</last_name>
<login_name>joe_doe</login_name>
<first_name>Joe</first_name>
<last_name>Doe</last_name>
<login_name>doe_joe</login_name>
I get the following error: "Identity with Name 'Joe Doe' already exists." Can't we have two Users with the same first and last names in Aras? This seems like a very common use-case to me..

    Hi Stefan, I believe the only other Identity whose name you would need to check for is the 'Innovator Admin', but I would recommend excluding all of the admin Identities just to be safe. You should only need to account for this if you are retroactively setting the names of your Identities. You could also automate this new name format only for newly created Users, so you wouldn't run into this issue with any of the existing administrator users. Chris
