[LON-CAPA-admin] change username

[lucasm at ohiou.edu]

Lars,

The username is the fundamental database entry. It defines a directory by 
that name under which all of the student entries are filed.

I'm not sure how many other places the username is cross-referenced, so 
I'm not sure what would happen if you created a new student and then moved 
all the information. (I can hear Gerd and Guy screaming in pain as I
type this 8) )

Most certainly, the classlist will need to have one student removed and 
the other added. There are probably a number of other places that the 
username gets tucked away. 

Hmm ... The randomization for a student will also change.
Is this a middle of the quarter change?

Later,
Mark
