Update a user

Update information about a user on your account, including its restricted status. When setting a user to restricted, the API sets no grants for it. You need to set grants so that user can access things on the account.

🚧

RBAC Identity and Access

If Identity and Access is enabled on your account, the restricted users have the account_admin role and restricted users have specific roles assigned to them. To update the role assignment, run the Update a user's access level operation instead. To learn more, see Identity and Access for Akamai Cloud.

Parent and child accounts

In the context of the parent and child account environment, on a child account, you can't edit the username or email values for delegate users.

Permissions and scopes

To call this operation, you need permissions, based on the model you're using:

• Identity and access permissions. Your user needs a role with these permissions. Learn more.

  • Permissions: update_user

• OAuth scopes. Your user needs these scopes assigned. Learn more.

  • Scopes: account:read_write
