Additionally, it supports updating the user's password. This operation is useful for managing user data dynamically within workflows, such as updating user information based on external inputs or administrative actions.
Use Case Examples
- Updating a user's email and username based on an external CRM system.
- Changing a user's profile details like first name, last name, and contact information.
- Resetting or changing a user's password programmatically.
