I have a need to rename an username in Business Intelligence (Analytics). Is it possible?
I succeeded in going offline. You have to be on the server (I used MobaXTerm so I was failed).
I still have the same issue.

You should open the catalog in "offline" mode. In OBIEE 11g the catalog is still on disk, and allows offline access (via the catalog manager): in offline mode, the security isn't enforced and you will have full access to everything, including private folders.
I couldn't open it in offline mode.
Please check : OBIEE 11g: How to Open Client-Side Catalog Manager in Offline Mode (Doc ID 1504505.1)
I have run it from server side (Oracle Linux) and still haven't got offline mode.
