Anonymous user name should be used on permissions screen

In Account Settings an administrator sets up a special name for anonymous users. Yet, on the Permissions page the table header is Anonymous User no matter what the value of this field is. It might make more sense to change this heading to match the value typed in the Account Settings Field. For example, if the admin uses "Guest" as the name for anonymous users, then the Permissions page would use "Guest" as the table header, reflecting the chosen name of this role.

  • Usability

    Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

  • Needs backport to D7

    After being applied to the 8.x branch, it should be considered for backport to the 7.x branch. Note: This tag should generally remain even after the backport has been written, approved, and committed.

  • Needs tests

    The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.

  • Needs issue summary update

    Issue summaries save everyone time if they are kept up-to-date. See Update issue summary task instructions.
