the password but you cannot change the username.

Table 44 Local Users section components
Component Description
Username
This is the name of the user. The username must begin with a letter, it must be
between 1 and 64 characters (inclusive), and it can consist of letters, numbers,
underscores (_), periods (.), and hyphens (-).
Password
The password for the local user. The requirements for the local user password depend
on your Password Management Settings. For information on password requirements,
refer to Password Constraints . The maximum password length is 256 characters. The
passwords displayed on the Local Users section are masked with eight asterisks
(*). When changing the password, you should clear this field before entering the
new password. If you do not clear this field, the asterisks become a part of the
new password.

User Administration Permission
You should be extremely cautious in assigning the User Administration Permission. Its use should be
reserved for situations where you want to perform user administration programmatically using the XML
interface of the KMS Server (as opposed to the Management Console). In such deployments, the User
Administration Permission should be given to a very small number of users. Most users should not be
given this permission.
