XF 1.5 Is it possible to change a Usergroup ID?

[Joe Link]

We have an issue which necessitates us changing a Usergroup ID from 29 to 11.

Is it possible for someone who knows their way around SQL to make the change via phpMyAdmin without breaking something?

Short answer is really no, as user group IDs are super fundamental and linked through a large number of tables.

Thanks Mike, that's what I needed to know.

The issue is while a stock set of queries could update the group ids throughout the tables, there is still the possibility add-ons reference it as well and you'd have to write queries for those too. I'd changed group ids before with queries, and it turned out to be more work than using the batch update to handle moving them into a new group.
