Getting 405 error when trying to update email address using cloud REST API

[Jay Keck]

I'm on a linux system trying to access a cloud jira instance to change the email address of  users. When I issue the command below I'm getting a 405 error. Originally I was getting a 301, but I figured out I needed https vs http. But I'm not seeing what the issue is with this request.

curl -verbose -s -f -X PUT -u 'myuser@password' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{ "name": "admin", "emailAddress": "newemail@domain.com" }' 'https://myjira.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user?key=admin'

Thanks in advance for any help or advice,

Hello,

405 error is "Method Not Allowed". I can't find a method for Cloud to update user's email. Are you sure the method exists?

It's possible for Jira Server but I'm not sure you can do it on Cloud.

Hi Elifcan,

You are right, the cloud doesn't support this operation. I had been doing this on server successfully and didn't check to see if the cloud API set supported it, Do'h!
