Username (IdP) in Hosts columns

Goal

User story
As a Fleet user on the Hosts page,
I want to see the user's IdP email address
so that I can quickly identify who is using a specific device.

Change

• Pull request: Show the primary user email on the Hosts page when multiple are present #48869.
• Figma wireframe.

• customer-granada: Gong snippet
• @noahtalerman: User requested this because the "Used by" column in Fleet's host list often shows non-specific values like "3 users", making it hard to identify machines by primary user. Since the environment integrates with an IdP (Okta), exposing the Username (IdP) as a column would provide a reliable, human-recognizable identifier for locating devices by owner.

• @noahtalerman: In the interim users must manually hover over "Used by" for each host.

• @noahtalerman: Eventually Fleet could allow Username (IdP) to be toggled as a visible column in the host list view.

Moved the original request here:

Problem

When looking at current user column in Fleet's list of hosts, it will often just show "3 users" and isn't very helpful for finding a computer belonging to a certain user. Since we use an IdP (Okta), I'd like to be able to reveal the "Username (IdP)" field as a column in the list of hosts.

@aanklewicz Thanks! You might already know about the hover but letting you know just to be sure!

@noahtalerman Yes, I do, that is helpful, but a quick glance at a screen of 50 devices, it's much easier to not have to hover.

Though I did just learn that if I type in the full email address for a user, it will filter, so that does help. But I don't think we should close this one, because I think it's useful to be able to see at a quick glance rather than having to hover over or filter the list.
