`PUT /gdc/account/profile/{userId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://secure.gooddata.com`
- URL: `https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/account/profile/{userId}`

Only profile owner or domain admin is allowed to update user profiles. 
 **Steps:**

 1. `GET` the account settings of the user.

 2. Remove all keywords from the returned JSON except for `firstName` and `lastName`.

 3. Add the `authenticationModes` keyword. You can specify `SSO`, `PASSWORD`, or both.

 4. Add the `ssoProvider` keyword. You can specify one or multiple SSO providers. To add multiple SSO providers to the user, specify a comma-separated list of SSO providers. For example, `"ssoProvider": "sso_provider_1, sso_provider_2"`.
