Server: Change/rename login name

Created on 20 Jun 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/server

Hi,

I would like to rename/change my login name and we can't do that for now on Nextcloud.
Can you support it?

For now:

Each Nextcloud user has two names: a unique Login Name used for authentication, and a Full Name, which is their display name. You can edit the display name of a user, but you cannot change the login name of any user.

Thanks,

Yeah, an ability to rename users would be very useful.

No - the login name for now is our internal ID. We will not support this. You could also login via your email address (if it is only used once in the instance)

This is bad... Really bad.

This is a useful feature.

Quite sad.
