PATCH /api/users/{userId}

The PATCH /api/users/{userId} endpoint allows for partially updating the information of a specific user. This method is useful when only a few fields need to be modified without sending all the user data. The user's identifier (userId) is included in the request URL.

Authentication Required

Authentication required to use the endpoint is via a Bearer token. This authentication method implies that each request must include an authorization header with a valid access token. This Bearer token acts as a credential that verifies the identity of the user or application making the request, ensuring that only authorized entities can modify the user's information. By requiring this type of authentication, the Net Domain Technologies system guarantees a high level of security and access control, protecting users' data against unauthorized access.
