BIMcloud as a Service - Create new user instead of inviting GSID?

[furtonb]

Hi, 

I'm trying to create new users for a BIMcloud as a Service instance, but I fail to find the "Create New User" option where I can just enter the username, e-mail address, etc. The only option I find is to invite existing GSIDs to the BIMcloud:

In BIMcloud Basic I (still?) have the option (it's in Hungarian, I've translated the relevant fields):

In the related BIMcloud as a Service Help I don't find any relevant info on how to create users "locally" first: "Use this workflow to invite a new user to BIMcloud, via their GSID. (The user must already have a GSID.)" 

Well, "this workflow" could imply that there is another way to create users the "old" way. 

https://help.graphisoft.com/BCSAAS/INT/index.htm?rhcsh=1&rhnewwnd=0#t=_BIMcloud_SaaS_%2F10_BIMcloud_...

Any thoughts on this one? I don't know the GSIDs of all the people, only their contact e-mails, do I really have to send e-mails to the prospective users, get the GSIDs confirmed, etc. before I can set this up?

I am 100% sure that I did not have to invite GSIDs in May 2024 (the last time I had to set users on a BIMcloud as a Service, I was working with BIMcloud Basic instances since then), I could just create the user, enter the e-mail, and then it was done. Please tell me, that I am missing something.

Can we get at least editable name fields after the user accepted the invitation?
With AC29 slowly rolling out of the garage and the corresponding ecosystem updates, I thought to check on this thread.

A common pattern:

User 1: First Name Last Name

User 2: Last Name First Name

User 3: e-mail

User 4: ACME Corporation

User 5: Darth Vader

...

While probably I would need them with this format: 

[DISCIPLINE] LAST NAME, First name (Corp.)

[ARC] DOE, John (ACME)

Or for another case, at the university: name (with a mixture of local & international students, who are impossible to guess whether the administration got their names right), ID, course level (BSc, MSc, etc.) still would be nice to have in their names, in order to handle access granularity easily.

I remember when this task did not require me to have yet another spreadsheet open, or when I could prepare at my own pace instead of relying on everyone to finally accept the invitation.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
