Hi,
I've realised that for my project it would be ideal if users had the
ability to change their login names. You know the kind of thing, you
register on the site as crazygirlLOL and then your boss shows up and you
want to be renamed as maryc.
I've had a look around and can't see that XWiki supports this. I bet
it'd be a pain to implement, changing all the history and group
memberships and permissions and whatnot. But if there's nothing out of
the box it looks like I'll have to write this feature myself.
Any suggestions?
P.S., I saw a reference in one of the macros to allowing user pages to
exist in spaces other than XWiki in the future. That would be useful
too, and probably touches much of the same code.

Indeed this does not exists out of the box.
There is two main way I would say (true for renamed groups too):
* do it at the same level than the code cleaning groups and rights
when you delete a user, main issue is that we need to introduce a
DocumentRenamedEvent first (right now you get a deleted and a created
document events when renaming user). The user would just rename its
profile page name.
* introduce a special action accessible from the user/group profile to
rename a user
In both cases it's a good idea to look at how
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…
find all users/groups to cleanup since it would be pretty much the
same code but with a rename instead of a remove. Additionally I think
I think RightsManagerListener only look at current wiki right now but
it should probably look at all wikis when cleaning/renaming a global
user/group.

That's very helpful, thanks. This isn't something I need to tackle
straight away, I just need to have a plausible story for what I'll do
when it hits.

You mean, when your boss shows up and asks you: "Why you have named yourself
"crazygirlLOL" on the XWiki? " ;-)
