Account Plugin #

The Account Plugin can be used to add custom behavior during the account lifecycle. This includes handling any updates to a player’s account information based on updates from a third party provider such as Steam.

This guide provides a walkthrough of the steps required to update a player’s Pragma Account display name using the Account Plugin. We’ll go through two scenarios when you might want to enable Pragma Account display name updates. Choose which option works best for your needs:

• Updating Display Name with Steam: a player updates their display name on Steam and the change is automatically reflected in the Pragma Account display name
• Updating Display Name with Social Player Portal: a player manually updates their display name in the Social Player Portal

Core Concepts:
Check out our concept doc for an intro to the Account Plugin. For more information on the default behavior of Pragma Account display names, see Display Name.

Prerequisites:

• Pragma Engine, Postman, and IntelliJ must be installed. See Initial Setup.
