Change first/last name in Cloud

Change first/last name in Cloud

Finding

All three questions ask how to edit the First Name and Last Name attached to an InfluxDB Cloud user. The docs and chatbot only cover renaming the technical username via CLI for OSS; they lack any statement or UI/API steps for personal-name changes, nor do they clarify whether deletion-and-recreation is a viable workaround. Consequently, the bot can only suggest contacting support.

Suggestion

Add a definitive Cloud-specific section on profile management that states whether first/last names can be changed. If supported, document the exact UI path or API call; if not supported, say so explicitly and provide the official support escalation path.

• Hi community! Hope you're doing well.
  I wanted to ask if there's a way to update the First Name and Last Name associated with my InfluxDB Cloud account. So far, the only documentation I’ve found is this:
  https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/admin/users/update-user/#update-a-user-using-the-influx-cli
  However, it seems this only allows updating the user ID, not the specific fields I’m looking to change.
  Could you please confirm if there’s a way to modify the name fields directly?

  Could you please confirm if there’s a way to modify the name fields directly? Would be possible to delete the user completely and then re-create it? Maybe in that way I can change the First and Last Name
• I would like to change my First and Last name from the user interface
