{baseURL}is: https://cloud.uipath.com/{organizationName}/identity_ - Your
{access_token}is:1234(for length considerations). - You want to update the information and membership of user ID
her-1909.

"email": "[email protected]",
"groupIDsToAdd": [
"gryff-01",
"alumni-02",
"teachers-03"
],
"groupIDsToRemove": [],
"bypassBasicAuthRestriction": false
}'
curl --location --request PUT 'https://cloud.uipath.com/{organizationName}/identity_/api/User/her-1909' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \

"groupIDsToAdd": [
"gryff-01",
"alumni-02",
