Update user
The Update user resource updates an existing user. When updating a Domain user, two additional properties are added: SecurityID and DomainID. If DomainID is not given, the user account Domain shows No Domain, and if SecurityID is not given, the user account is set to the default parameter.
Note: The FirstName, LastName, UserName, Id, and AccountStatus properties cannot be null.
Important: When you are using the Update user API to change specific property values in the user profile, you must also include in the body of the API all the remaining property values as they currently exist, even if you do not intend to change them. Omitting them causes the API to set the following properties to null or to their original default values.
