Just wondering if anyone has had any success changing the way usernames display in Apple Classroom?

Our JSS is set up to pull usernames from AD, the username being their student number. I was thinking about making the JSS pull the full name in place of the username to fix this, but then if the iPad is reset the config profile login will become their full name which could get complicated.

Is there an easy way to get apple classroom to change which information it displays?

We had the same issue. The only way to get around this without using Apple School Manager is to go into /JSS/Users search for the user . Then in the Roster field change the full name to the students name. We also put their email in the Apple ID field.
