Expand RNA user registry

Currently the RNA user registry has username, first, last names and password. Can we add email address and GECOS fields to the user options? Our usecase is to associate accounts to individual employees.

    That helps with external identities but sometimes you have local identities that are used for app to server (RNA) and your using APIs to access as that local identity. I would like to have that local identity to have a GECOS field or email to have an "owner" assigned.

    The product has the ability to tie in to external identity providers via SAML, LDAP, or RADIUS. Typically in these scenarios, the email would be used as the username. Does this help?
