@support_team
Could you please change my community username from benhrosario to bennycakes? If bennycakes is unavailable, my second choice is bennycakes901. Thank you!

Hubitat moderators routinely handle these requests.

Since I know you've recently been active on the Hubitat Community while troubleshooting your Schlage lock, if you tell me:

  • your benhrosario, and
  • the bennycakes you want,

My hub model C8 Pro and platform version is 2.5.0.159

I can help you draft the exact post to maximize the chance it gets approved quickly.

Please provide your hub model (C7, C8, etc.) and its platform version from Settings>Hub Details.

That doesn’t work for me on Safari iOS or macOS. There is no pencil icon adjacent to the username:

Not available to me either. It's availability is most likely based on trust level and not available to mere mortals.

No, it's based on time. You can only change the name within 365 days from creation.

If either of you, or any other user whose account is >365 days old, wants to change their username, they can just tag @moderators and request the change.

Thanks guys :+1:
