    - `authenticationModes` string[]: Is authentication mode (`SSO`, `PASSWORD`, or both) allowed for the user. The value of this field overrides the global settings for the domain. Only a domain admin can update this property.

To do so, contact GoodData Support.
    - `ipWhitelist` string[], nullable: An array of the IP address ranges (in the CIDR format), from which the user is allowed to access the GoodData platform. This property is a user-specific setting, and it overrides the domain IP whitelist settings, if any has been set. Only a domain admin can update this property. <ul><li>When set to <code>null</code>, the user has access to the GoodData platform regardless of their IP address.</li> <li>When set to an empty array (<code>[]</code>), the user has no access to the GoodData platform.</li> <li>When not set, the property defaults to <code>null</code>.</li></ul>

    - `effectiveIpWhitelist` string[], nullable: An array of the IP address ranges (in the CIDR format), from which the user is allowed to access the platform. This property is read-only and cannot be updated. The content of this property is taken either from `ipWhitelist` of the user (if set) or from the IP address ranges defined for the domain (if set). <ul><li>If neither is set, <code>effectiveIpWhitelist</code> returns <code>null</code>, which means there are no IP address limitations set for this user.</li> <li>If both are set, <code>effectiveIpWhitelist</code> returns what is set in <code>ipWhitelist</code> for the user.</li></ul>
