'userideditable' => 'Y',

Edit a user account, and userid field is still disabled.

This setting was never meant for administrator usernames. It belonged to an old participant database feature that was removed years ago, so it had no effect. We have now removed it from the configuration defaults. Changing the username of an existing administrator is not supported. If you need this, please open a feature request.
