## Require unique names
54+
55+
You can require users to choose unique names when joining your organization, or
56+
changing their name. This helps prevent accidental creation of duplicate
57+
accounts, and makes it harder to impersonate other users.
58+
59+
When you turn on this setting, users who already have non-unique names are not
60+
required to change their name.
