Changing usernames

You should only edit usernames if a new business process or security restriction requires it. The old username can only be used by the original user and cannot be assigned to other users.

You can only edit usernames if Enable renaming of usernames is selected in the server options. See Setting server options.

Users with usernames and passwords longer than 32 characters cannot use Surround SCM or TestTrack 2016.0 and earlier.
