[Resolved] Change/Modify the username/login name

Post by AlainD. »

Hi everyone,
I tried to search the forum but did not find any answer.
Is there a way to modify (through a plugin maybe, or a script) the usernames (login) assigned to the user. I am the administrator of my Mantis installation, and I'd like to make all user logins homogeneous: firstname.lastname, because since now they have been a bit anarchically created (sometimes juste the firstname, some other time firstname.1st_letter_of_name, or again 1st_letter_of_firstname.name, etc...)

Is there an easy way to do so please ?
Thank you in advance.

Nooooo.... 8O !
Yes you're right :oops: . My appologies I don't know why I thought it was not possible. I'm very very embarassed right now for having created this post :-/.
Maybe I was confused with another tool which does not allow it, or maybe I did not use the admin account when I tried... Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience and big thank you for the answer. I think I need a cup of coffee now haha :-)

Subject close. Thanks.
