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

    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"

        That does seems strange, i am not the hottest on API's "still learning" one of the other guys may be able to shed some light but may be worth creating a case?
