userRename
Renames the user login name.
Synopsis userrename old_username new_username
Description Use this command to change an existing account login name to a new login name. The following
rules apply:
• The new username must begin with a letter and contain only alphanumeric characters or
underscores. Note that usernames are case sensitive.
• The new username must be between 1 and 40 characters long.
• The new username must be different from any other existing account login name. For example,
if you are changing the default login name ("USERID"), you must choose a name other than the
default login name.
• Renaming a user account login does not change the role associated with the account. For
example, if you are converting an existing user name to the default login name ("USERID"), the
new default login may not have all the access permissions associated with the original default
login.
Notes This command is supported only on the Brocade 3016 and 4020 embedded platforms.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
