Editing Usernames in Gerrit 2.1.5?
Furosh One
I've looked at "Settings / Profile" and "Settings / Identities".
I added a name to Settings / Profile / "tester", and it saved it but can't rename or change it.
Can I change/edit this name once changed?
Also is this where I'd want to do this?
Or should I be able to add another "Settings / Identity"?
In an older version we had of Gerrit, a user was able to change their email address, save, and then use that as their "SSH Username", then they could
'ssh -v -p 29418 newname@servername'.
Basically this user wants to change it so that he can use the same name he uses for omapzoom and google, while I've setup the Gerrit accounts based on our NIS unix accounts, which Apache uses for authentication. Apache authentication this way works well, but this user wants a way to change it.
Any options in the UI or is this a DB change?
If so, what would I change?

Sorry, can't help with the necessary database changes. The user's row in
the accounts table would of course have to be adjusted, but if there's
anything more to it I'd just be guessing.

Nope, you can't change it. The reason is we support ${username} in
ref access rules to create per-user branch names. If the user changed
their username, they would lose access to their current branches in
any projects where they had created these types of branches.

You'll need to edit the database by hand. One way to do that is to
delete the current username for the user:
DELETE FROM account_external_ids WHERE external_id LIKE 'username:%'
AND account_id = NNNNN;
And then flush the accounts cache. The user should then be able to
set the username again.
