Hello @lana, updating a user’s display name should reflect across all channels. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.

**Update user API:** [Amity API](https://api-docs.amity.co/#/User/put_api_v3_users)

@SocialPlus_Support thanks for the information. But i got this error return

```auto
{
    "status": "error",
    "message": "You are not allowed to do this",
    "code": 400301,
    "data": {
        "detail": {}
    }
}

```

is the token different from the **v4/sessions** because i usually use that token to get all the users and send message. or this one **v4/authentication/token**?

Hello @lana, if you’re using the current user’s token, please check and update the configuration to ensure that users are allowed to update their display name.

**API to get user token:** [Amity API](https://api-docs.amity.co/#/Session/post_api_v4_sessions)  
**API to check displayname configuration:** [Amity API](https://api-docs.amity.co/#/Network%20Setting/put_api_v3_network_settings_users)
