👩Updating a User

This step shows how to update Groups users.

Create and update operations for Users use the same endpoint. The only difference is that if you send a user_guid along with other parameters, the endpoint will treat it as an update request.

Below is a list of available parameters for updating users:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
user_guid	string	Yes	GUID of the user
name	string	No	Name of the user
surname	string	No	Surname of the user

psd	string	No	Password of the user
mobile	string	No	Mobile of the user
login_allowed	bool	No	Flag if the login is allowed
active	bool	No	Flag if the user is active
lang	string	No	Language of the user(see). This option modifies: session interface, panel interface and mails.
timezone	string	No	Timezone of the user(see) This option modifies: how the user sees sessions' hours.
