Permanently changing Revit username in an organisation workshared environment

I understand that the standard Revit username is generated at the start of every Revit session by the default Windows username of the organisation account.

 

Is it possible to permanently change the Revit username in a organisation computer without it defaulting back to the Windows account name? 

 

I am not discussing changing the username through Options, but a more permanent fix that ideally would not involve obtaining IT administrator rights.

Not sure I understand the question.  Type any name want. It'll stay that way until you change it or sign in.  No?

Like @barthbradley wrote, the default value is based on the logged in user but if you type something else in then that is maintained until you change it again. If you have to log into BIM 360 then your username must match your account ID. If your user name must change for any reason make sure you do that before you begin working on any project files. You can't change your user name once you're working in a local file. You have to keep the current user name until you synchronize and close the project.
