As we approach these gfolders on the server directly (without loggin in to DNN) a recognisable format would be helpfull. I woud prefer the use of the username, as the user cannot change this (so in my case this would be 12_mazeland. We use this at out helpdesk and we assign usernames ourself to our customers.

Reviewing all the options, and relating to how future features will work with the module, I believe this is the best method:
Change physical foldernames to ModuleID_UserName.
Option to add an "Autocreate Admin" folder, which will translate the displayed foldernames in the tree to either:
Username
FirstName_LastName
DisplayName.
I will either make each option available hardcoded, or perhaps allow a tag-replacement system.
The UI for the admin area is still being re-written. The main goal is to allow viewing/editing of all settings for a single folder (including each user/role setting), without page-switching or tab-switching. Several of my customers have intense Folder/User/Role requirements, and the current Admin UI is not very efficient for this.
The database strructure is set well for this, so these changes will not effect existing installations.
Changing the existing Autocreate foldername structure causes a few issues which are still to be worked out.
All this said, I do hope to have a new release by the 1rst of July at the latest. Some of the more advanced feature additions (not relating to the above), will probably be pushed to a 1.6 version.
DNN 5.x is coming soon as well: I have found only minimal issues with Access Manager running in DNN 5.x beta. While the module will function as-is in DNN 5.x, a DNN 5.x-optimized version of Access Manager (and Daily Schedule), will be available within 1 to 2 days of the 5.x release.
