The API offers the possibility to update values for an existing user. Before doing the update the API User.UpdateValidation is called.
If the validation fails a non-successful value is written to *Returned status and a message can is written to ErrorArray. If the validation is successful the *Returned status is set to *Successful and the update is done.
Please note that if you want to update the password for a user you will have to use the web server API PasswordUpdate.
If you just want to update the state of the user you can use the server API UserStateChange instead.
Please note that if you do not specify a value for the folder list (UserFolderListID), the user's session will have a folder list assigned based on the roles assigned to the user. This means that unless you want to override this behavior, you should just leave this input field blank.
