To define your own static list (editable name) of contributors, you'll need to define your own user manager.
To do this, declare in the plugin.xml of a plugin, a org.ametys.runtime.user.UsersManager using the org.ametys.runtime.plugins.core.user.StaticUsersManager and define the list of users as follows:
Sample declaration
<extension point="org.ametys.runtime.user.UsersManager"
id="org.ametys.plugins.myplugin.user.MyStaticUsers"
class="org.ametys.runtime.plugins.core.user.StaticUsersManager">
<user id="pmartin">
<fullname>Pierre Martin</fullname>
</user>
<user id="jdupont">
<fullname>Jacques Dupont</fullname>
</user>
</extension>
If you need to create a new plugin, follow the instructions on the Architecture page of plugin Ametys .
You will then need to select this new extension point either via the "Plugins and Workspaces"This can be done via the administration interface, or by directly modifying the WEB-INF/param/runtime.xml (see Runtime file.xml) .
Extract from the runtime file.xml
<extensions> <org.ametys.runtime.user.UsersManager>org.ametys.plugins.myplugin.user.MyStaticUsers</org.ametys.runtime.user.UsersManager> ... </extensions>
