# Edit a user (Admin only)

> Edits an existing account; this is the Users edit page. On an existing account, credits, plan, current twin (`institution`, applied together with plan 'sdk'), names, password and MFA change only here; status also changes through the bulk status endpoint and DELETE. Requires users.edit on the account's current twin (on your own twin when the account has none), and on `institution` whenever it names a different twin. Only a super admin can edit a super admin or assign the super role, and a new `accountType` must be user, admin or super. Setting status to 'deleted' deletes the user and needs users.delete.

    Pria API Documentation Praxis's developer platform is a core part of our
    mission to empower organizations to grow better. Our APIs are designed to
    enable teams of any shape or size to build robust integrations that help
    them customize and get the most value out of Pria. All Pria APIs are built
    using REST conventions and designed to have a predictable URL structure.
    <br/>  <br/>They use many standard HTTP features, including methods (POST,
    GET, PUT, DELETE) and error response codes.  <br/> <br/>All API calls are
    made under https://hiimpria.ai/api and all responses return standard JSON.
    In these docs, you'll find lists of all available endpoints for a given API,
    along with interactive code blocks for building requests. For walkthroughs
    of basic usage for these APIs, check out the API guides.
