Can we change the User ID (rep:principalName)?

We have a need to change a number of user's IDs and keep their profiles, privileges, associated content references, etc.

We would like to either update the existing rep:principalName or create a new ID and copy all the nodes and properties from the old ID.

TeamSite used to have a manual process by changing an xml to force associations from one ID to another.

Hello,

You can leverage groovy script to add a principal name.

Following script is to add rep:externalId property to user nodes. Similarly, you can update this script to add rep:principalName property.

I hope this helps.
