How can I allow regular users to see all previous usernames for all members?

As far as I know, thats not in the core. This is most likely from an addon and would need to contact developer.

This is part of the built-in username change system.

I did a little more digging, and whether or not "See more" is shown (for users which aren't yourself) is tied to the "Bypass user privacy" right. It's laid out in the canViewFullUsernameHistory function of /src/XF/Entity/User.php.

It would be nice if it was its own permission which I could give to regular members without giving them all "Bypass user privacy". In my mind, username changes are more of a public record and not something private like online status.
