How can I change the username of the user via rest api?

Hi @Fernando André 

Welcome to the community 

You may try using this REST API endpoint :

PUT /rest/api/2/user

For more information, please refer to this page :

• https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.6.1/#api/2/user-updateUser

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Sorry but I noticed that this does not work in my version.

I'm using version 8.2.5 and version 8.4.1 , Is it possible to change in these versions?
