I have a weird behavior on my system, I'm trying to change a home

"usermod: user foo is currently used by process XXXX", when I look for
PID XXXX I see "/lib/systemd/systemd --user". Does anyone knows why this
is happening? How I fix it?
That process is a session instance of systemd, which (in general)
indicates that the user in question is logged in to the system. usermod
would appear to be (quite rightly, IMO!) refusing to change a user's
home directory while that user is logged in.
I would expect that you can resolve this by closing all of that user's
login sessions before changing their home directory.
