User - Change user name (logon)

Changing user logon names in batch

This is an option for changing user names (previously known as logon names) for OSM users. A Windows Active Directory (AD) user account is required to login to OSM. An OSM user account is still required, and the Windows user name and OSM user name values must match.

With this tool, the administrator can change user names in batch to make OSM user names equal to AD user names.

TXT file

You will need to prepare a text file in .txt format with a list of email addresses and new user names.

The email address and user name values must be separated with pipe-character (|) and should be formatted as one user per line.

When you perform the operation, the following things happen:

• The email address will be used as a key to identify the OSM user.

• The email address will be automatically converted to lowercase.

• The AD user name will be automatically converted to uppercase.
