In WSO2 Identity Server (IS) 6.0.0, the "userName" attribute is not intended to be changed once it is set for a user. The "userName" typically serves as a unique identifier for a user account and is not meant to be modified.

If you need to update user information, you can consider modifying other attributes such as "givenName," "familyName," or "email," depending on your specific requirements.

If you need to change username, you can create a new user with the desired "userName" and migrate the relevant user data and attributes from the old user to the new user.
