Why names are not enough
-
A name alone is not enough to safely merge accounts.
-
Reasons:
-
- several people can have the same name
- names can be written differently
- first name and last name can be reversed
- umlauts or special characters can differ
- an account may already be connected to another identity
-
Example: Two people are named “Max Müller.” Edumaps must not automatically decide which account belongs to which SSO access.
