Can i change the user's UUID (folder name) without problems?

hello all,

i was wondering. from time to time i need to find test users inside my accounts folder. this is of course a bit difficult when all strings are randomized. i was wondering if i could rename the “main” users a bit and nothing would change? until now they are not being referenced in any fields or anywhere. maybe something like putting an “aa” at the beginning or something similar. would this affect the core in any way? do i have to respect certain character lenghts?

thanks in advance!

This should be fine as long as nothing has referenced the user. Just make sure to keep it unique. But e.g. in our development sandbox we have them manually named as test, editor, admin etc. ourselves.

excellent, thank you :slight_smile: so the length is also not an issue then, they can be whatever. yes, im my relatively good controlled environment nothing is really referencing them. i will change them then
