    The question was asked whether a user can change their username. The short answer is no. Update: yes, yes I now can. :)

    Here is what can be done. An administrator with the right permissions can do one of two things:
    1. Change the username for the individual; or
    2. Install a specific add-on to the XenForo platform that would allow users to change their own usernames (examples here).

    Alas, I have not been afforded either of those permissions. @NeoCHI is the site owner and chief administrator.

    A user who would absolutely want to have their username changed can request one of the following options:
    A. Ask @NeoCHI to do him/her the favour;
    B. Ask @NeoCHI to install one of the third-party add-ons that would allow users to change their own usernames; or
    C. Ask @NeoCHI to grant me (@nGord) the appropriate permission(s) to be able to help users who want their usernames changed.

    If I've missed something or anyone has more comments or questions, please feel free to comment below.

    Update (better late than never)!

    I've been granted the permissions to view and edit Users - including their username, password (although I can't view it), and account status (meaning I can delete an account as well).

    Feel free to send me a request if desired.
