If you log into your community, locate the user then view their profile and it should default to the login page which shows their username if the permissions is right then you will be able to change the username.

Thank you, that seems to have fixed it but now it's even more confusing.  I am actually logging in as an admin user when calling the API and attempting to change another user's username (and email address).  And THAT call is getting "Permission Denied"

    That does seems strange, i am not the hottest on API's "still learning" one of the other guys may be able to shed some light but may be worth creating a case?

      We already did, but they strongly encouranged us to use lithosphere.  :-) So we have to at least try.  Thank you for the help.  I'm super new to lithium as is.  two weeks to be exact.

        lithosphere is the place to be for stuff like this and much more, welcome aboard. I am also kinda new to Li was running a vBulletin community before. Is a real shock from knowing your platform inside and out to knowing very little but as i say this is a great place to learn :)
