The term "username" confusingly refers both to the Django concept of "username" (meaning "the name the user types into the login form") and a concept the admin presumably already has in their existing environment; which may or may not be the same thing, and in fact this is where we document the admin's choice of whether and how they should correspond. The Django concept in particular isn't obvious, and is counterintuitive when it means something like an email address. Explicitly explain the Django "username" concept, under the name of "Zulip username" to take responsibility for our choice of how it's exposed in the settings interface. Then use an explicit qualifier, like "LDAP username", whenever referring to some other notion of username. And make a pass over this whole side of the instructions, in particular for consistent handling of these concepts.
