Auth0 CLI

auth0 users update

Update a user.

To update interactively, use auth0 users update with no arguments.

To update non-interactively, supply the user id and other information through the available flags.

Use ‘–schema’ to print the request payload schema and exit. Use ‘–data’ to supply the full JSON payload (validated against the schema before sending).
