### What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Keeping the assigner’s name

### Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

In the event of the departure of a collaborator who has assigned one or more roles, the solution displays “Given by a deleted user.” and In the case of an assignment by a script, it displays “Given by policy.”  
We believe it would be preferable to retain the identification information of the role assigner (script or human) in order to maintain traceability of actions.

### How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

N/A

Hi @ChristopheCoudert

Thanks for your submission.

1. Retention of the role assigner’s name in the role assignment even when they have left the organisation: this feature will be included in the next release of the 6.3. When users are deleted or archived from a DB, you will still be able to retrieve the user name by clicking on the information icon as shown below. 

2. For your other request for when a role is “given by a policy”, I’m not sure what information you are looking for in this case. Do you mean the user who executed the script, or the name of the script? Let me know! 🙂
