Update user accounts for a customer

Update details in an existing user account for your customer.

Prerequisites

• Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with App+User credentials only.

• A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer's Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).

GDAP roles

You'll need at least one of the following GDAP roles:

• User Administrator
• Directory Writers

C#

To update the details for a specified customer user, first retrieve the specified customer ID and user to update. Then, create an updated version of the user in a new CustomerUser object. Then, use your IAggregatePartner.Customers collection and call the ById() method. Then call the Users property, the ById() method, followed by the Patch() method.

// string selectedCustomerId;
// customerUser specifiedUser;
// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;

// Updated information
var userToUpdate = new CustomerUser()
{
    PasswordProfile = new PasswordProfile() { ForceChangePassword = true, Password = "testPw@!122B" },
    DisplayName = "DisplayNameChange",
    FirstName = "FirstNameChange",
    LastName = "LastNameChange",
    UsageLocation = "US",
    UserPrincipalName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N") + "@" + selectedCustomer.CompanyProfile.Domain.ToString()
};

// Update customer user information
User updatedCustomerUserInfo = partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).Users.ById(specifiedUser.Id).Patch(userToUpdate);
