Problem to solve
We are using a self hosted Gitlab 16.7.7 and I created a “Service Account” user via the API. As you can’t specify a name or username on creation, I’m wondering if it is save to change the name and username via the Web-UI (gitlab.host/admin/users/service_account_xyz/edit)?
I know you can specify a name and username in the 16.10 version, but I can’t upgrade at the moment and the question remains, if I can alter the name and username after the creation.
I don’t want to mess around with the account, because I don’t know if this breaks this account and status as a service (non billable) account.
Thanks
Thomas
