There are two types of user accounts:
- 'Built-in' user accounts — these are stored in the application's local database.
- 'External' user accounts — these are stored in an external directory (e.g. LDAP), if any are configured. See Configuring External Authentication Sources.
Renaming a user changes their login name. To change their Display Name, please see Editing a User's Details.
To rename a user,
- Click 'Users' on the 'Admin Menu'.
- The 'User Browser' screen will be displayed (see screenshot below), showing a list of users.
- Locate the user and click the corresponding 'Edit' link.
If the user doesn't initially appear on the screen, type part of their email address and/or select a group to which they belong, and click the 'Filter' button.
- The 'Edit User' screen will be displayed. Click the 'Rename' link.
- The 'Rename user' screen will be displayed. Type the new username and click the 'Rename' button.
