Is it possible to change a Service Account user (without resetting the secret key/access key)?

Is it possible to change a Service Account's associated user without breaking connections?

I see where I can change the username when editing a Service Account, but I wanted to confirm that (1) this actually changes the associated user and (2) doesn't reset the access key or secret key (in other words, it wouldn't break any connections using the service account).

Thanks.

It does not appear that changing the username has any effect on the access key or secret key, however it changes the username. So you would have to find the original file and change the username to the updated username and re-upload the Service Account where needed. I have never taken this approach, I have always created a new one tied to the user and updated as needed.
