Changing Username in Jupyter Lab and Setting User-Specific Colors

[reyemb]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to customize the username in Jupyter Lab, so that instead of "Anonymous," a more identifiable name is displayed.

I came across the following potential solution: GitHub Issue #11745, but it didn’t seem to work in my case. Additionally, it would be great if I could assign specific colors to users as well.

Managing users via URL parameters is an acceptable approach for us.

For reference, I start Jupyter Lab with the following command:

jupyter lab --ip=0.0.0.0 --allow-root --no-browser --NotebookApp.token='ultrasecrettoken'

I am using python version

Python 3.12.6
