How do I change a user's username in Confluence?

DJ Taylor Apr 15, 2014

I've searched through the forums for an up-to-date response to this question, but have come up empty-handed. As an admin, how do I change a user's username? I've navigated to the user's profile and clicked Edit Details, but the username field isn't showing as editable. Any ideas?

Check the links below. I think they describe your case.

What Confluence version are you using? The username can only be changed in Confluence 5.3 or later. If you use a version before 5.3, you have to follow the guidelines in the second link Boris posted above.

After clicking Administer User, the username is not editable (1st screenshot). Also, if I click Edit Details, the username is still not editable (2nd screenshot)
