Update user

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Update the properties of a user object.

  • Not all properties can be updated by Member or Guest users with their default permissions without administrator roles. Compare member and guest default permissions to see properties they can manage.
  • Customers through Microsoft Entra ID for customers can also use this API operation to update their details. See Default user permissions in external tenants for the list of properties they can update.
  • For synced users, the ability to update certain properties is additionally determined by the source of authority and whether synchronization is enabled.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service US Government L4 US Government L5 (DOD) China operated by 21Vianet
