Update a user's profile

PUT/users/{userId}Update a user's profile

Updates whitelisted profile fields. The endpoint intentionally does not accept identity-bound fields — email, clerkUserID, and the canonical id are owned by Clerk and cannot be changed through the API. Unknown fields in the body are silently ignored.

Parameters

userIdstring · uuidpathrequired

User UUID.

Request body

required
application/json
objectUpdateUserRequest

PATCH-style update. Only the listed whitelisted fields are applied; any other field (including `email`, `clerkUserId`, `id`, etc.) is silently ignored.

Example request
{
  "firstName": "string",
  "imageUrl": "https://example.com",
  "lastName": "string"

Opaque cursor to pass to the next request.

True when further pages of results are available.

Option 2object

Organization user. Identity-bound fields (`email`) are readable but not writable via this API — identity is owned upstream. The spec mentions `phone`, but the current user model does not carry one — tracked as a follow-up.
