Research direction

The payload names no files, so begin by finding where a site administrator changes a username and where account details are shown to organizers and administrators. The change has to keep the old username when the name is replaced, which likely means a new stored field or record, and then display it in that account view. Settle the open question about whether the saved history should be locked before writing code. Done means a username change leaves a record of the previous name that organizers and administrators can see, and regular users cannot.

Description

Enhancement

Site Administrators can change the username of an account if requested, but the old username should still be saved (but not locked?) so that it can be displayed in the history of the account for Organizers and Site Administrators.
