Hide last names from public view
James Irvin
I'd like to share some public information for people viewing and using our board. But, currently it looks like if the Public view is turned on then it displays full names and organizations from Intercom. For confidentiality purposes I had to turn off public since it included full names and orgs. It would be helpful to have an option to only publicly display first names.

This is an issue for us to - would be good to hide the full name from the public site and display "Alex R" but in the admin area display the full name.
We kind of worked around by only sending canny the first letter of the surname but it's the same on public and admin - makes it difficult to attribute the comment to someone. Surprised this isn't a feature yet tbh.

The primary issue for me is that the full name of the submitter is public.
Turning off "Show names of people who vote on posts and like comments" does NOT hide the name of the submitter

i feel names add to a sense of community, but yeah wish we can hide last names some customer's don't like it
> i don't think user's real names should be publicly posted, for privacy considerations.

+1 on this one. While being able to hide voters name is great. It would be even better, for confidentiality reason, to also hide last names when clients comment or post feedback.

Hey James, also companies can only be seen by admins, not public users. Try visiting your board in an incognito window to see what I mean.

Andrew Rasmussen: Hi. You didn't answer the question about hiding last names. It's really important for us, as users of Canny, and our client's privacy.

Hi James, under your board settings, you can hide voter names from the public view. Organizations are only visible to admins.
