Do you think: can we give for any user option to change his name?

I think^ we need some options in admin area: user can change nick - yes\no, can change mail - yes\no

And cotonti need fast add users in admin area! it is so useful - if you disable new registrations on your site

I vote for all three, but it needs to be optional, as it can be a safety issue.

It can already be allowed for users to change their email. Its a setting in Config > Users "Allow users to change their email address :"

An option to change username could be put in with the user groups, actually we could move the allow users to change email there too.

As well as later on we should fit in a way to manually let admin's add users. Thats something myself I've wanted to add.

But of course all these things will have to wait till after 0.0.2 to be added.

It is not all about changing everything. This will create big conflicts, nickname should never be changed.

But I agree about email. But if email will be changed, all process happens while registering should happen, another validation must be required, vsvs.

Actually nickname chanage is fine, if you update it in every single spot where needed. Which we can do :)

It is not about coding, most scripts wouldn't allow change user name, i think they have a pretty good reason.

Well the option can be off by default.

Really all the code should be there to do it, in users.edit.inc.php, as admins can do it. So all that needs to be done is moved into profile, with a config option. It could even be coupled with a delay to restrict constantly changing username.

Well we have plenty of time to discuss how this best could be done. Changing Username is realy no more dangerous than email :)
