#### _Detailed explanation of the problem:_

in the admin portal I can’t edit a username. Is there anyway to change the username? Preferably through a script/api. We need to make our casing consistent. Or is there a way to make usernames case insensitive?

Hello Mike,

here a link to OpenAPI of cumulocity to change a users data:  
[https://cumulocity.com/api/10.15.0/#operation/putUserResource](https://cumulocity.com/api/10.15.0/#operation/putUserResource)  
It is RestAPI and you can do it with Postman or something else.

I don´t think that there is a way to make it case insensitive, except you build your own login.  
Hope it helps  
greets  
Helmut
