# Update an attribute for a SCIM enterprise user

`PATCH /scim/v2/Users/{scim_user_id}`

**Note:** The SCIM API endpoints for enterprise accounts are currently in *private* beta and are subject to change.

Update a provisioned user's individual attributes.

To change a user's values, you must provide a specific `Operations` JSON format that contains at least one of the `add`, `remove`, or `replace` operations. For examples and more information on the SCIM operations format, see the [SCIM specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-3.5.2).

**Note:** Complicated SCIM `path` selectors that include filters are not supported. For example, a `path` selector defined as `"path": "emails[type eq \"work\"]"` will not work.

**Warning:** Setting `active: false` will suspend a user and obfuscate the user handle and user email. Since the implementation is a generic SCIM implementation and does not differentiate yet between different IdP providers, for Okta, the user GDPR data will not be purged and the credentials will not be removed.
```
{
  "Operations":[{
    "op":"replace",
    "value":{
      "active":false
    }
  }]
}
```
