# Update Vendor

`PUT /vendors/{vendorId}`

Updates a vendor by identifier. Only fields included in the request body are updated. We recommend reading [Updating data with PUT](../docs/Updating-data-with-PUT.html) before using this endpoint.

**Member management is not part of this endpoint.** To add a user to a vendor, invite them via the [Create User](#/operations/CreateUser) endpoint specifying the vendor's `VendorProjectManager` group. To remove a user from the vendor, remove them from that group using the [Update Group](#/operations/UpdateGroup) or [Update User](#/operations/UpdateUser) endpoints.

## Headers
