Usage Guidelines

After you change the login name of a user, the system automatically updates the policies that reference the user. No manual modification is required. For example, after you change user login name Jack to John. The system automatically replaces Jack with John in all policies.

After the change, the user must use the new login name. Otherwise, the login authentication fails.

Example

# Rename login name Jack to John.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] user-manage user Jack
[sysname-localuser-jack] rename John
[sysname-localuser-john]
