| | 115 | === Managing accounts === |
| | 116 | As of version 2.2.2 of the Component Registry, user accounts can be managed through the administration interface. To edit the properties of a user, go to [https://catalog.clarin.eu/ds/ComponentRegistry/admin/accounts Manage accounts], then select the user from the drop down in the '''Manage existing account''' section and click ''Select''. Be really careful, especially with the principal name as this is used to connect a user in the registry to its federated identity! |

| | 118 | ==== Transferring a user's data to a new identity ==== |
| | 119 | |
| | 120 | Go to the '''Manage accounts''' page in the administration interface (see above). |
| | 121 | |
| | 122 | * See if the new identity exists in the '''Manage existing account''' dropdown |
| | 123 | * If so, select it and remote it. |
| | 124 | * If it cannot be removed because there already is data, change the principal name to something that does not exist |
| | 125 | * Find the old identity in the dropdown and select it |
| | 126 | * Change the principal name to the new principal name |
| | 127 | * Notice that the user ID does not change, hence all data is now linked to the new identity |
