There are two types of user accounts:- 'Built-in' user accounts — these are stored in the local database for FishEye/Crucible.
- 'External' user accounts — these are stored in an external directory (e.g. LDAP), if 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.
When a user is renamed in an external authentication service they must also be renamed in FishEye/Crucible.
To rename a user:
- In the Admin area, click Users under 'User Settings'.
- Locate the user and click their username. 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 Filter.
- Click Rename.
- Enter the new username
- Click Rename.
