Hey @sleek ledge
At the moment you would need to use CloudSave to store a player's nickname then use CloudCode to reach into another player's CloudSave data to retrieve their nickname, based on their playerID.

Take a look at the Cross-Player Data example in the Cloud Code documentation
https://docs.unity.com/cloud-code/en/manual/integration-with-other#Cross-player_data

An easier mechanism to get and set playerName is a great idea and I understand this is being looked at?

Integration with other Unity services

@hasty crag Actually I updated to the pre release package for Authentication

#

It provides an API to set player name

#

which is good enough i guess 😄

#

thank you

#

While I have you here, is there a way to access another player's cloud save?

yep, that's exactly what the Cross-Player Data link above is all about
