UpdateUser Service Operation - Customer Management

Updates the personal and business contact information about a Microsoft Advertising user.

Note

Only a user with Super Admin or Standard credentials can update users. For more information, see the User Roles technical guide.

Because the update operation requires the time stamp of the most recent user write operation, you must first call the GetUser operation. The GetUser operation returns the user's data, which includes the time stamp. The update call will fail if you use an old time stamp e.g., the user data is updated by your application or another application after you obtained the time stamp.

Request Elements

The UpdateUserRequest object defines the body and header elements of the service operation request. The elements must be in the same order as shown in the Request SOAP.

Note

Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.

Request Body Elements

Element Description Data Type
User The user object that contains the updated user information.

This operation overwrites the existing user data with the contents of the user object that you pass. This operation performs a full update, not a partial update. The User object must contain the time stamp value from the last time that the User object was written to. To ensure that the time stamp contains the correct value, call the GetUser operation. You can then update the user data as appropriate, and call UpdateUser.
