Update a User

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Update an existing user. Unspecified fields preserve their current values.

Note

You cannot update the password field for security reasons.
