Other than updating the ownership of the files in the homespace and any 
specific place you've decided to store the files, there shouldn't be a 
problem providing the changes to /etc/passwd,/etc/shadow,/etc/group and 
so on are correct. If you access files over a network share for example 
using NFS, you may need to update the ownership on those files too.
