 This is analog to the object identity, but represents a user, or a role in
 your application. Each role, or user has its own security identity.
 
+.. versionadded:: 2.5
+    For users, the security identity is based on the username. This means that,
+    if for any reason, a user's username was to change, you must ensure its
+    security identity is updated too. The method ``updateUserSecurityIdentity``
+    of the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Acl\\Dbal\\MutableAclProvider`
+    class is there to handle the update.
