- `password` - **string**, optional. If provided, the user's password is updated and all
devices are logged out, unless `logout_devices` is set to `false`.

- `logout_devices` - **bool**, optional, defaults to `true`. If set to `false`, devices aren't
logged out even when `password` is provided.
- `displayname` - string, optional, defaults to the value of `user_id`.
- `threepids` - array, optional, allows setting the third-party IDs (email, msisdn)
- `medium` - string. Kind of third-party ID, either `email` or `msisdn`.
- `address` - string. Value of third-party ID.
belonging to a user.
- `external_ids` - array, optional. Allow setting the identifier of the external identity
provider for SSO (Single sign-on). Details in the configuration manual under the
sections [sso](../usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#sso) and [oidc_providers](../usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#oidc_providers).
- `auth_provider` - string. ID of the external identity provider. Value of `idp_id`
in the homeserver configuration. Note that no error is raised if the provided
value is not in the homeserver configuration.
- `external_id` - string, user ID in the external identity provider.
- `avatar_url` - string, optional, must be a
- `displayname` - **string**, optional. If set to an empty string (`""`), the user's display name
will be removed.
- `avatar_url` - **string**, optional. Must be a
[MXC URI](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.0#matrix-content-mxc-uris).
- `admin` - bool, optional, defaults to `false`.
- `deactivated` - bool, optional. If unspecified, deactivation state will be left
unchanged on existing accounts and set to `false` for new accounts.
A user cannot be erased by deactivating with this API. For details on
deactivating users see [Deactivate Account](#deactivate-account).
- `user_type` - string or null, optional. If provided, the user type will be
adjusted. If `null` given, the user type will be cleared. Other
allowed options are: `bot` and `support`.
If set to an empty string (`""`), the user's avatar is removed.
- `threepids` - **array**, optional. If provided, the user's third-party IDs (email, msisdn) are
entirely replaced with the given list. Each item in the array is an object with the following
fields:
- `medium` - **string**, required. The type of third-party ID, either `email` or `msisdn` (phone number).
- `address` - **string**, required. The third-party ID itself, e.g. `alice@example.com` for `email` or
`447470274584` (for a phone number with country code "44") and `19254857364` (for a phone number
with country code "1") for `msisdn`.
Note: If a threepid is removed from a user via this option, Synapse will also attempt to remove
that threepid from any identity servers it is aware has a binding for it.
- `external_ids` - **array**, optional. Allow setting the identifier of the external identity
provider for SSO (Single sign-on). More details are in the configuration manual under the
sections [sso](../usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#sso) and [oidc_providers](../usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#oidc_providers).
- `auth_provider` - **string**, required. The unique, internal ID of the external identity provider.
The same as `idp_id` from the homeserver configuration. Note that no error is raised if the
provided value is not in the homeserver configuration.
- `external_id` - **string**, required. An identifier for the user in the external identity provider.
When the user logs in to the identity provider, this must be the unique ID that they map to.
- `admin` - **bool**, optional, defaults to `false`. Whether the user is a homeserver administrator,
granting them access to the Admin API, among other things.
- `deactivated` - **bool**, optional. If unspecified, deactivation state will be left unchanged.
If the user already exists then optional parameters default to the current value.
Note: the `password` field must also be set if both of the following are true:
- `deactivated` is set to `false` and the user was previously deactivated (you are reactivating this user)
- Users are allowed to set their password on this homeserver (both `password_config.enabled` and
`password_config.localdb_enabled` config options are set to `true`).
Users' passwords are wiped upon account deactivation, hence the need to set a new one here.
In order to re-activate an account `deactivated` must be set to `false`. If
users do not login via single-sign-on, a new `password` must be provided.
Note: a user cannot be erased with this API. For more details on
deactivating and erasing users see [Deactivate Account](#deactivate-account).
- `user_type` - **string** or null, optional. If not provided, the user type will be
not be changed. If `null` is given, the user type will be cleared.
Other allowed options are: `bot` and `support`.
