This update added new revisions after undoing existing revisions.  That is
to say, the old revision is not a strict subset of the new revision.  This
situation occurs when you --force push a change and generate a repository
containing something like this:

 * -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O (839c7ef756c188ed24215ad18f013ab9eddcbdfa)
            \
             N -- N -- N (d309809f4f81c4f92b7441a0e4dc1e9e2f27be76)

When this happens we assume that you've already had alert emails for all
of the O revisions, and so we here report only the revisions in the N
branch from the common base, B.

Those revisions listed above that are new to this repository have
not appeared on any other notification email; so we list those
revisions in full, below.

+It is sometimes necessary to reassign an existing Arvados user account to a new Google account.
+
+Examples:
+* A user’s email address has changed from <code>person at old.example.com</code> to <code>person at new.example.com</code>.
+* A user who used to authenticate via LDAP is switching to Google login.
+
+This can be done by an administrator using Arvados APIs.
+
+First, determine the user’s existing UUID, e.g., @aaaaa-tpzed-abcdefghijklmno at .
+
+Ensure the new email address is not already associated with a different Arvados account. If it is, disassociate it by clearing that account’s @identity_url@ and @email@ fields.
+
+Clear the @identity_url@ field of the existing user record.
+
+Create a Link object with the following attributes (where @tail_uuid@ is the new email address, and @head_uuid@ is the existing user UUID):
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>{
+  "link_class":"permission",
+  "name":"can_login",
+  "tail_uuid":"<span class="userinput">person at new.example.com</span>",
+  "head_uuid":"<span class="userinput">aaaaa-tpzed-abcdefghijklmno</span>",
+  "properties":{
+    "identity_url_prefix":"https://www.google.com/"
+  }
+}
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+Have the user log in using their <code>person at new.example.com</code> Google account. You can verify this by checking that the @identity_url@ field has been populated.

+
+When you use federation capabilities to connect two or more clusters that were already operating, some users might already have accounts on multiple clusters. Typically, they will want to choose a single account on one of the clusters and abandon the rest, transferring all data or permissions from their old “remote” accounts to a single “home” account.
+
+This effect can be achieved by changing the UUIDs of the user records on the remote clusters. This should be done before the user has ever used federation features to access cluster B with cluster A credentials. Otherwise, see "managing conflicting accounts" below.
+
+For example, a user might have:
+* an account A on cluster A with uuid @aaaaa-tpzed-abcdefghijklmno@, and
+* an account B on cluster B with uuid @bbbbb-tpzed-lmnopqrstuvwxyz@
+
+An administrator at cluster B can merge the two accounts by renaming account B to account A.
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python
+import arvados
+arvados.api('v1').users().update_uuid(
+    uuid="<span class="userinput">bbbbb-tpzed-lmnopqrstuvwxyz</span>",
+    new_uuid="<span class="userinput">aaaaa-tpzed-abcdefghijklmno</span>").execute()
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+This should be done when the user is idle, i.e., not logged in and not running any jobs or containers.
+
+h2. Managing conflicting accounts
+
+If the user has already used federation capabilities to access cluster B using account A before the above migration has been done, this will have already created a database entry for account A on cluster B, and the above program will error out. To fix this, the same "update_uuid API call":../api/methods/users.html#update_uuid can be used to move the conflicting account out of the way first.
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python
+import arvados
+import random
+import string
+random_chars = ''.join(random.SystemRandom().choice(string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits) for _ in range(15))
+arvados.api('v1').users().update_uuid(
+    uuid="<span class="userinput">aaaaa-tpzed-abcdefghijklmno</span>",
+    new_uuid="bbbbb-tpzed-"+random_chars).execute()
+</code></pre></notextile>
