When and administrator removes the permission "Manage Server" for a group, the users in that group are now allowed to create/edit servers:
Basically they can't do right-click on the server to change any of the server's properties:
The problem with that is that the administrator, who is sharing pre-configured servers to the users, can only provide a "shared username" which is common for all users. If the users don't have the "Manage Server" permission then they can't change to their own username.
My proposal is to provide a drop-down list in the server's properties general tab, so the administrator can choose between these options (maybe could be more):
Fixed: user name is always the same for all users, this is the current behavior (the shared user name)
Email: pgAdmin will use the user's email to connect to the database so it will change for every user automatically. This binds with another feature request I made to make pgAdmin allow Entra ID authentication using the tokens: Enable Entra ID authentication for PostgreSQL servers in pgAdmin #9261
Ask: request the user to introduce the username and optionally save it.
