How do you change a Jira Service Desk Cust Portal user's email address after account is created?

[Pat Giesecke]

I can get to the account (under User management > JIRA Service Desk > Portal only customers) but once the User information is pulled up selecting the [Edit] button only allows me to edit their name.  This user has already been added to a LOT of issues as a Participant so I don't want to deactivate/delete their account.  How can I get their email address updated?

Thanks @Gabriel Senna, I voted.  Unfortunately, I think we'll have to create a new user and bulk add them as a Participant to all issues where their current user is a participant (Is that the workaround we should use?  If so, are there steps/guidance somewhere to do this?).
