Question: Increasing User code length from 5 to an arbitrary number

SOLVED

Hi,

At Setup > Users, can I increase the user code length from 5 to an arbitrary number (like say, 30)?

Client would like to have longer user code as per LDAP AD settings used (for example, in this case, would prefer to have `leechunheng` as user code over a manual input of `ADLCH` to account for Sage X3 user code's 5 characters limitation).

    Hi 

    That would be a complex development on a sensitive topic (security related). I don't understand why the customer would like to do that anyway. A code is a code, the meaning is in the description and the login is what the users will type in. If a women got married and change her name, how to update the family name, do you end-up creating a new user?

    I advise your customer to stick to the standard.
