Description
If a user decides to have a new username I can change it in my SSO provider, but then the user gets a new Nextcloud account. There should be a way to migrate users to a new username.
And I can't use [ ] Use unique user id as then the username will be 130 random characters and I have no clue what user I'm interacting with.
Please allow changing the username.
