Default Username
The default username is calculated as follows:
    1) The user’s email address is used as the username.

    2) If there is no email address, the user’s first name (dot) last name is used. 
        a. If there is more than one person with the exact same first and last name, the system adds numbers after the last name until a unique username is found. 

    3) Records without an email address or a first and last name use the record ID number for the User Name. 

Note: Some schools have established custom defaults. Check with you school’s PCR Educator account manager or email support@pcreducator.com if you have questions about the default username settings for your school.
