Update a user

put https://api.linode.com/{apiVersion}/account/users/{username}

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.

📘
This operation can only be accessed by account users with unrestricted access.

Parent and child accounts

In a parent and child account environment, the following apply:

You can't edit the username or email values for the child account parent user (proxy user). These are predefined for the proxy user when you initially provision the parent-child relationship. Only a proxy user's restricted status can be modified. This can only be done by an unrestricted child account user.
A parent account using an unrestricted proxy user in a child account can modify the username, email, and restricted status for an existing child account user.
A restricted account user--parent or child--can't change their user to unrestricted.
