Hi,

Is there a way to change the userid? 

We use the user's name for the userid field and I wanted to know if it is possible to change it, as someone has recently gotten married and changed their name.

Many thanks,

Mojahid

Not easily, because there will be many places that reference that ID in your collaboration and applications, as it forms the user record primary key, and even worse that that, throughout the system we use "URNs" and in the case of a user, the URN is constructed using the UserID.  This is why we provide Name and Handle fields. Its not impossible to change but it requires some direct database manipulation and would be quite a complex thing to do, I don't think we have how to do this documented anywhere as each application will use this information.

Thanks @Gerry

I think it will be unlikely that we will change it in that case... We've only got the one instance of this at the moment, but was a consideration for the future.

Kind regards,

Mojahid
