Of course this can be enough but this could be more objectified. A string cannot be called a model to me. For now nothing prevents from having somebody use the id of someone else. When contributing it is associated to licence so I just find the actual model a bit weak. Then, additional functionalities could be built like storing other informations, certificates, having an external personal system that could be plugged upon each new image startup. But yes the actual solution is ok. Was just thinking loud as I try to develop personal information system, this is something that could be interesting for my use case ;-) Cheers, Cedrick

Hi,
I wonder why first and last name are not good enough. I have found the model clear and privacy aware. Such image id is complemented with remote credentials in remote repositories (SmalltalkHub, GitHub, etc) and I deploy distinct images for distinct projects or releases (which is now easier with PharoLauncher), so I fail to see other use cases.
Cheers,

For now, it is asked (by convention) a string containing our first name and last name (when code is submitted). Just wandering if you could have a better representation of a user of a Pharo image.
Could we imagine a user id instead ? That shouldnât be heavy to deal with and eventually one could add more functionalities (one being the authentification to a pharo based application).
The difficulty is to find a proper universal user id. I would have used something that encode date and place of birth in the id but it suffers some privacy related issues. Any ideas ? Another question is if an image may be used by several people ? To me allowing one user is ok for a developer image but it might be interesting to switch user spaces if itâs for a pharo application ?
