When renaming a user (from `jb1` to `jb`), I get this error message: `There was an error changing your username.` No information is recorded in `/logs`. The old username was created because the user used SSO for the first time, and his name was too short. Now, I changed the minimum username length, and wanted to adjust his name. ---

what happens when you rename to jb2 … jx ? ---

Almost certainly a length restriction. Unlikely to be a bug. ---

Is there any setting for length restrictions apart from `min username length`, which I have set to `2`? Setting any other name does not work either. ---

Changing username minimum after the fact (e.g. setting minimum username length to 4 chars, when you have ten users with 2 char usernames) will cause _lots_ of problems. ---

what happens if you restart your container, maybe something bad is cached? ---

I restarted (or in fact: rebuild) the container, this did not help. ---

I found it: `sso overrides username` prevents the name change. I still consider this situation a bug. Enabling this setting should _either_ hide the `Change Username` button from the administrator panel and disable the `users/.../preferences/username` page, _or_ still allow username changes for admins (possibly with a warning). I’d prefer the latter, to allow admins to manually “untangle” cases where Discourse’s change-illegal-names-system has created unintended names. ---

이 PR은 OP에 설명된 문제에 대한 테스트 케이스를 추가하여, 예를 들어 `jb1`에서 `jb`로 사용자 이름(Username)을 오버라이드하는 것이 일반적으로 제대로 동작하는지 확인할 수 있도록 합니다: > > > The problem was \[reported\](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cannot-change-username-w…ith-sso-enabled/31307) a long time ago. It's hard to say if this bag didn't exist or was fixed later, but test cases in this PR prove that this works now. > [@fefrei](#): > > 원인을 찾았습니다: `sso overrides username` 설정이 이름 변경을 방지하고 있습니다. > > 여전히 이 상황을 버그라고 생각합니다. 이 설정을 활성화하면 관리자 패널에서 `Change Username` 버튼을 숨기고 `users/.../preferences/username` 페이지를 비활성화하거나, _또는_ 관리자(Admin)의 경우 경고와 함께 사용자 이름 변경을 계속 허용해야 합니다. 확인해 보겠습니다. ---
