Updating users

Users can update their own accounts and super-users are able to update any other person's accounts. This can be done from either REST or Python APIs.

Regular users may change the attributes below:

  • email
  • display_name
  • first_name
  • middle_name
  • last_name

Super-admins may change all the data above, plus:
