Create a method to swap user license type between two named users

[RTPL_AU]

Currently, if you want to swap the user license type between two users, you need a third unallocated license to play musical chairs with, or to delete>recreate one of the users.

In a small organisation where they typically do not have spare licenses, we have come across situations where due to staff job description changes, they need to swap the user license type between two people. The only way to do that without a spare license, is to delete one user, allocate their old license to the other person and then recreate the user and add them to various groups etc. This seems very inefficient.

Esri should create a way to select two users and swap their user license type. 
I am ware that in some cases, primarily where a Creator type is involved, it is a non-trivial task, but Esri should be able to work out how to transfer ownership of assets in the process. DM me if you want me to help the dev team work it out.

To implement a method for swapping the license type between two named users, you can create a function that takes the usernames and their current license types as input parameters. The method should first validate that both users exist and are eligible for the swap. It should then check if the license types are swappable Chairs, ensuring that any specific conditions or restrictions related to each license type are respected.

I'm worried about the many administrative hassles that moving to named user licenses from concurrent licensing will create, this being one of them. We won't be able to afford having unused licenses sitting around for this sort of situation. I can picture this happening to someone who needs to bump up to a Pro Advanced license with Professional Plus for one project, but there are no more Professional/Standard licenses available for the existing Professional Plus to be bumped down to. Like you said, it would be nice if they could just swap in place.
