Changing email for social provider

[gregp]

I’m wondering if it’s possible to update a user’s email using the management API if the user signed up using Google. I’m successfully able to update it if they login using username-password, but it fails when the user logged in via Google. I’m using the /api/v2/users/{id} MGMT api endpoint, and I’ve tried specifying the client_id from the web app and connection = “google-oauth2”.

Any ideas if this is possible? Thanks!

This is not possible, and it must be done through their google account. This is because the identity is provided and managed by google.

Thanks,
