We’ve been running our site with “SSO Overrides Username” enabled so far, and plan to disable it. A few questions before we do:

- Will the username still be initially pulled from SSO, but now be changeable in user’s profile settings?
- If so, what will happen if there is a username conflict between a pre-existing username and a new username taken from SSO?

Are there any considerations we might not have thought of?
