Does the Crowd REST Client allow renaming users?

[Graham Bakay]

I'm guessing no, which is really annoying.

def user= new UserTemplateWithAttributes(crowdClient.getUser('gbakay'))
user.name= 'graham'
crowdClient.updateUser(user)

results in:

Caught: com.atlassian.crowd.exception.UserNotFoundException: User <graham> does not exist

Note, the User object coming back from Crowd has the externalId property field on it, but apparently Crowd still matches based on name.

Anyone know any tricks?

This will be available in Crowd 2.8.4 and later: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-3388
