Renames

From time to time, users will change their names, commonly due to changes in marital status. At a minimum, a user’s new name should be reflected on any systems where the user’s name appears.

If the user’s name was used to construct the user’s login ID or email address, a number of additional changes may have to be made if the login ID changes as a result of this name change.

Change requests that include the user must also be updated so that they can still participate. For this reason, it is preferable to assign login IDs that are not based on user names, or at least not based on surnames.
