PATCH User API

How it works

Use the PATCH method to update an existing user:

PATCH /scim/v2/Users/{id}

Authentication

The OAuth bearer token is used to authenticate all API calls, not the API key.

For more information, see Authentication.

This command takes the following parameters:

Object	Type	Required	Description

`op`	String	Optional	The operation to perform. Supported values are `add`, `replace`, and `remove`.
