Update Edge user credentials

When you download the Edge site installer, a dedicated user account is created in Collibra Platform. If you installed your Edge site before 2025.08, or are using a Collibra Platform for Government or Self-Hosted, your Collibra server uses username and password authentication for the Edge user account. This user always has "Edge" as the first name and the Edge site name as the last name.

This user is created for each Edge site, and deleted when you delete the Edge site.
