## Example Request

Let's say you gathered all the information needed to build the API call.

* Your `{baseURL}` is: https://{yourDomain}/identity
* Your `{access_token}` is: `1234` (for length considerations).
* You want to update the information and membership of user ID `her-1909`.

The call should resemble the following example (cURL):

```
curl --location --request PUT 'https://{yourDomain}/identity/api/User/her-1909' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--data-raw '{
    "name": "Hermione",
    "surname": "Granger-Weasley",
    "email": "hermione@hogwarts.com",
    "groupIDsToAdd": [
        "gryff-01",
        "alumni-02",
        "teachers-03"
    ],
    "groupIDsToRemove": [],
    "bypassBasicAuthRestriction": false
}'
```

Here is the response for a successful call:

```
{
    "succeeded": true,
    "errors": []
}
```
