How to prevent members from changing their names (first and last name)? Through "Contacts" we can make the field admin access only to prevent the user from entering their own names. However, this will make the name fields internal fields that can only be seen or edited by an administrator. I prefer members to see their names. When they change their names without administrators' knowledge is a big No-No! Because we have a testing system with first and last names that must be matched.

In addition, I had to set up "Current and Formerly Name (First AND Last Name)" manually (only internal administrators to see) through Membership Fields so that the office will be able to keep tracking. I am still inserting names manually one by one for many - about 900 more to go... HOWEVER, this will not solve the problem because if members change their names, how will we, administrators, know when and what their name has changed to? Nowadays members or more people have changed their names. That is fine but it is not fine at my end because of testing system.

I would prefer members to ask me or my office (administrators only) so we can update their names for them. This way we can keep tracking for the right information/records especially for tests.
