=== Put User API

[id="{upid}-{api}-request"]
==== Put User Request Request

The +{request}+ class is used to create or update a user in the Native Realm.
There are 3 different factory methods for creating a request.

===== Create or Update User with a Password

If you wish to create a new user (or update an existing user) and directly specifying the user's new password, use the
`withPassword` method as shown below:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-password-request]
--------------------------------------------------

===== Create or Update User with a Hashed Password

If you wish to create a new user (or update an existing user) and perform password hashing on the client,
then use the `withPasswordHash` method:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-hash-request]

--------------------------------------------------
===== Update a User without changing their password

If you wish to update an existing user, and do not wish to change the user's password,
then use the `updateUserProperties` method:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-update-request]
--------------------------------------------------

The returned `PutUserResponse` contains a single field, `created`. This field
serves as an indication if a user was created or if an existing entry was updated.
