# Update user (partial)

PATCH https://api.finput.com.au/api/v1/users/{id}
Content-Type: application/json

Reference: https://docs.finput.com.au/api/endpoints/users/patch-user

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — JWT access token obtained from `POST /api/v1/auth/login`, or a `finput_sk_...` API token

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (integer, required)

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an UserUpdateRequest.

- `first_name` (string, optional)
- `last_name` (string, optional)
- `organisation_id` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `is_admin` (boolean, optional)
- `is_active` (boolean, optional) — Setting `true` on a deactivated user gives them a seat back, and is refused with `409` when their organisation is at its user limit.

## Response

### 200

User updated

- `id` (integer, optional)
- `email` (string, optional)
- `first_name` (string, optional)
- `last_name` (string, optional)
- `organisation_id` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `is_admin` (boolean, optional)
- `is_active` (boolean, optional)
- `is_email_verified` (boolean, optional)
- `created` (datetime, optional)
- `groups` (list of UserGroup, optional)

## Errors

### 409 Conflict Error

Reactivating this user would take a seat in an organisation already at its user limit.

- `error` (string, required) — A sentence a broker can read, worded for the client named in `X-Finput-Client`. A store client's sentence never mentions a plan or a way to pay.
- `reason` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `seat_limit_reached`
- `seats` (Seats, required) — An organisation against its user limit.

## Types

### UserGroup

- `name` (string, optional)
- `permissions` (list of UserGroupPermissionsItems, optional)

### Seats

An organisation against its user limit.

- `used` (integer, required) — Active users plus invites not yet accepted. Deactivated users are not counted.
- `limit` (integer, required, nullable) — `null` means unlimited. `used` may exceed it: the limit only refuses adding a user, so an organisation that went over it after a downgrade or trial end keeps everyone.

### UserGroupPermissionsItems

- `id` (integer, optional)
- `codename` (string, optional)
