There are two types of user accounts:
- 'Built-in' user accounts — these are stored in the local database for FishEye/Crucible.
- 'External' user accounts — these are stored in an external directory (e.g. LDAP), if configured. See Configuring External Authentication Sources.
Renaming a user changes their login name. To change their Display Name, please see Editing a User's Details.

- Locate the user and click their username.
If the user doesn't initially appear on the screen, type part of their email address and/or select a group to which they belong, and click Filter. - Click Rename.
- Enter the new username
- Click Rename.
