User rename in Confluence

Sri Deppthi July 25, 2012

Hi,

I'm trying to rename users in confluence4.2 with the below updates and it doesn't seems to be working.

Though it renamed the user (over user search from UI), when I click on the username I have an error

org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: 
Invocation of method 'canRemove' in class com.atlassian.confluence.user.actions.ViewUserAction threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at /admin/users/viewuser.vm[line 141, column 42]

Please help in fixing

Not sure how you did a username changing, but this doco might help: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Changing+Usernames
