When a username is changed, new folders will be created for your home, scratch and project space, as if it were a new user. The new user will have the same underlying numeric identifier (user ID) as your previous username, which means that permissions on the filesystem do not need to change. You will be able to connect to the clusters using this new username and your existing password or SSH key. However, you should *not* do so. That is because many things need to be done manually.
