Changing a user account contact info

1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

   The following variables should be available now:

   >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
   'https://eu2-cloud.acronis.com/api/2'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   >>> tenant_id  # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access
   'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
   

2. Assign the user_id variable the UUID of a user account created via the API or a user account found via search:

   >>> user_id = created_user_id
   >>> user_id
   '1c234e69-5469-424a-a6d1-ff5658b387a6'
   

3. Fetch the revision number of the user account as described in the chapters above. The following variable should be available now:

   >>> version
   1
   

4. Define a variable named user_data, and then assign the user account contact information to update to this variable:

   >>> user_data = {
   ...      "contact": {
   ...          "address1": "John Doe Str.",
   ...          "firstname": "Foo",
   ...          "lastname": "Bar"
   ...      },
   ...      "version": version
   ... }
   

   Name	Value type	Required	Description
   contact	contact object	No	The contact information of an account.
   version	number	Yes	Revision number.

5. Convert the user_data object to a JSON text:

   >>> user_data = json.dumps(user_data, indent=4)
   

6. Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the /users/{user_id} endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.put(
   ...     f'{base_url}/users/{user_id}',
   ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
   ...     data=user_data,
   ... )
   

7. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   200
   

   Status code 200 means that the contact data has been successfully changed.

   A different status code means that an error has occurred. For the details, refer to “Status and error codes”.

   Also, the response body contains the user account information formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look as follows:

   >>> pprint.pprint(response.json())
   {'activated': True,
    'business_types': [],
    'contact': {'address1': 'John Doe Str.',
                'address2': '',
                'city': '',
                'country': '',
                'email': 'johndoe@mysite.com',
                'firstname': 'Foo',
                'lastname': 'Bar',
                'phone': '',
                'state': '',
                'zipcode': ''},
    'created_at': '2019-07-25T07:11:02.807354+00:00',
    'enabled': True,
    'id': '1c234e69-5469-424a-a6d1-ff5658b387a6',
    'idp_id': '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111',
    'language': 'en',
    'login': 'JohnDoe',
    'mfa_status': 'disabled',
    'notifications': ['quota', 'reports', 'backup_daily_report'],
    'personal_tenant_id': None,
    'tenant_id': 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae',
    'terms_accepted': False,
    'version': 2}
   

   The revision number increments with each update. Update the version variable if necessary.
