# How to change user’s Plex/Emby/Jellyfin email or username?

Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, your users will want to change their Plex email or switch which account they use with your Plex shares. To accomplish this, it is best to create a new account with the new email/username and merge the data. To accomplish this, follow these steps:

* Create a new user login by going to the Site Logins panel and adding a new login using the new email address. You can send the password to the user or they can use the password reset feature
* Invite a user manually using the new email address. See [How to invite a user manually via Streams Manager?](/streams-manager/faq/how-to-invite-a-user-manually-via-streams-manager.md)
* Navigate to Users panel and search for the new user using the new email address and open User Details for the user. Note the ID of the new user
* Delete the default payment created by Plex Manager
* Go back to Users panel, find the old user account and use the Merge action (in the action menu - bolt icon). You will be asked for the destination user's ID. Enter the ID you noted in the step above
* This will copy all the data from the old user to the new user and delete the old user
* You can also delete the site login for the old user although this is not necessary

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://streamsmanager.gitbook.io/streams-manager/faq/how-to-change-users-plex-emby-jellyfin-email-or-username.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
