ADMINISTRATION TOOLS

Accepting or rejecting name change requests
There are two situations that are unique to user name change requests. One situation generates a request to revert to the original user name, another situation generates a request to retract the user's name change. You are required to accept or reject these requests whenever they are posted to ADMIN4.NSF.

When you initiate a user's name change, the user is prompted to accept or reject the name change. If the user rejects the name change, an administration request is generated that requires you to either accept the user name reverting back to the original name or reject the user name reverting back to the original user name. For example, if a user refuses a name change, the administration request "Approve refused name change" is posted to ADMIN4.NSF.

If the expiration date for the name change is reached and the user has not responded, an administration request is issued asking you to accept a request to retract the name change. You can then either accept the request to retract the name change, or you can reject that request. If you accept the name change retraction, the administration requests for rejecting a name change are generated.
