Hello, according to [Update User Information - Amity Docs](https://docs.amity.co/amity-sdk/core-concepts/user/update-user-information)

I should be able to update the user role, but the “role” doesn’t seem to be list of accepted properties

> export const updateUser = async (  
> userId: Amity.User[‘userId’],  
> patch: Patch\<  
> Amity.User,  
> ‘displayName’ | ‘description’ | ‘avatarFileId’ | ‘avatarCustomUrl’ | ‘metadata’
> 
> > ,  
> > ): Promise\<Amity.Cached\<Amity.User\>\> =\> {

“@amityco/ts-sdk”: “^6.17.2”,

I’m missing something?

Thanks

Hello @lorandd, we have checked with the team, and updating the role is not available through the SDK. We have accordingly updated the documentation. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

You can update them via the API: [Amity API](https://api-docs.amity.co/#/UserV3/put_api_v3_users), as we typically reserve this action for admins.
