Hi,

 

the user account your using obviously has API permissions but are you sure it has admin access, it's possible it Has API access but not other permissions required to change a users username. 

 

Thanks

    yup: user is labeled as admin (if you look at user roles in admin console)... so, not it.

    I'm not hot on api's "still learning" but to rule access out are you able to change the username via the admin panel? Sure one of the other guys will be able to confirm if the API call needs tweaking.

      If you log into your community, locate the user then view their profile and it should default to the login page which shows their username if the permissions is right then you will be able to change the username.

        Thank you, that seems to have fixed it but now it's even more confusing.  I am actually logging in as an admin user when calling the API and attempting to change another user's username (and email address).  And THAT call is getting "Permission Denied"
