Issue 1731: Gerrit should allow editing username from GUI (may be restricted)
Status:  New
Owner: ----
Reported by pravinse...@gmail.com, Dec 17, 2012
Gerrit currently accepts username (Settings --> Profile) only once and does not allow to update it. If a user has specified incorrect username (even if it's just a upper case), the only way to update/correct such fields is through DB query.

This is kind of inconvenient in organizations with distributed (stricter) control on who gets to do what. Gerrit should allow to update username through UI though this feature maybe limited to only Administrators.

Thanks

For our specific case, we have Gerrit deployments for both internal developers as well as customers. This problem manifests itself quite often and it will help if Administrators can correct this by just a single click.

Also a problem in issue 1217, where comment 4 (https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1217#c4) notes that this is intentionally disabled.
