Hello, I’ve asked a very similar question before, so I hope I am not overlooking something obvious here😬 I am trying to update the phone number of a user in our system by using the action I have attached below. I get an error saying that I don’t have permission for that. I have followed the documentation and I can’t see what’s missing. Updating accounts are enabled in the environment (tested with both staging and dev), and I gave myself a custom role with update user privileges. I tried editing my own user with this action and that worked, but it simply won’t allow me to edit someone else’s. Tested in both a config app and our production app. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Hi Petter, can you check that you also have the appropriate “Update User in Role” permission selected? Aaron
