Update a web user account

Update an existing web user's account information.

This call supports full and partial updates:

  • All the populated fields in the update request are updated;
  • Any non-mandatory fields excluded from the operation are skipped.

For a field to be updated correctly, it needs to be completely populated. For example, to update an element that contains child elements, all the mandatory child elements must be populated with valid data.

If one or more mandatory sub-elements are missing from the update request, the whole parent element fails to update, and its value does not change.

When you make a POST /updateWebUser request, take the following guidelines into account:

  • grantRoles: Update per role.
  • revokeRoles: Update per role.
  • name and email are related fields; therefore, they both need to be completely populated in the update request, even when you want to update only one of them.
  • This implies also that if the update fails for either name or email, the other related element is not updated, either.
  • addMerchantCodes: Update per merchantCode.
  • deleteMerchantCodes: Update per merchantCode.
