Is it possible to have the `username` of a user in the `userinfo` response? Right now there is `nickname` which is what comes before the `@` in the email, then `name` which is the email, and `email` which is the email.

I’ve set `requires username` in the connection, and I’d like to get it in the userinfo response so I can use the proper username immediately.

Can you help me with that? Thanks.

I decided to make a new microservice that communicates with the management api via a M2M application and not use the provided userinfo endpoint. This way, I can decide which fields I want and account field edits in a controlled and authenticated manner.
