Tag users / connect name to user ID

General questions
1

Is it possible to give user IDs a specific name?
For example, by testing and watching the individual steps my co workers make on our page, I would like to give the long cryptic user ID a name. For example “Co worker A”. So I know everytime when I check the statistics that this specific person did it and not a real customer.

I know I could block them completely by adding the cookie to their devices etc. But that’s not really a good option for me. Too much could “go wrong” to delete the cookie over time or not working etc.

When I remove all data from that person from matomo, that would clear old data, but newly generated data will still be inflated.

Any good way of working here for me?

Thanks!

Hi @jonalange
For such cases, I personally use the segments: My use case is finding myself, then I created a segment on my ID:

You may also create a segment where some selected visitors (user IDs) are excluded…

If this is not sufficient, you can either create your own plugin:

Or ask for a new feature request (but when will it be developed?):
