Hi
Is it possible to change the username plesk assigns to the admin plesk user during the first account activation as shown below?

The long and random nature of the User name in Linux file system is likely create problems further down the line.
Many thanks
 
When you create a subscription, the user name can be freely edited. You may need to open one of the optional drawers/fly-outs at the bottom of the subscription-creation-dialogue.

The user name can also be changed by the "admin" afterwards. Best practice is to
1) suspend the subscription (this is needed to keep running processes from blocking a user name change)
2) enter the "webhosting settings" dialogue page and change the user name.
3) enable the subscription again.
