# Update User

`POST /v1/organizations/users/{user_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.anthropic.com`
- URL: `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/organizations/users/{user_id}`
- Auth: none declared

Update a member's organization role.

## Path parameters

- `user_id` string, required: ID of the User.

## Headers

- `anthropic-version` string: The version of the Claude API you want to use. Read more about versioning and our version history [here](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning).

## Request body

- UpdateUserParams
  - `role` 'billing' | 'claude_code_user' | 'developer' | 'managed' | 'user', required: New role for the User. The accepted values depend on the organization type. Console and API organizations accept `user`, `developer`, `billing`, and `claude_code_user`; `admin` cannot be assigned through the API. Claude Enterprise organizations accept `user` and `managed`; changing a User's role to `managed` requires the `write:rbac_groups` scope in addition to `write:members`.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- User
  - `added_at` string, date-time, required: RFC 3339 datetime string indicating when the User joined the Organization.
  - `email` string, required: Email of the User.
  - `id` string, required: ID of the User.
  - `name` string, required: Name of the User.
  - `role` 'admin' | 'billing' | 'claude_code_user' | 'developer' | 'managed' | 'membership_admin' | 'owner' | 'primary_owner' | 'user', required
  - `type` 'user', required: Object type. For Users, this is always `"user"`.
