# Update User Details

Catalyst allows you to [modify and update](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/users/implementation/#modify-a-users-details) the following details of an end-user:

* First Name
* Last Name
* [OrgID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/getting-started/catalyst-organizations/) : OrgID is a unique value that is generated by Catalyst to associate with an organization.
* [RoleID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/roles/implementation/) : Role ID is the value generated by Catalyst that is assigned to a particular [user role](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/roles/introduction/).

### Create a dictionary

```python
update_config = {
    "email_id": "amelia.burrows@zylker.com",
    "last_name": "Burrows",
    "first_name": "Amelia",
    "org_id": "1012585680",
    "role_id": "6759000000054065",
}

```

The SDK snippet below demonstrates updating an end-user’s details using the `update_user_details(userID, userDetails)` method. The first name of the user is updated in the example below. 

To know more about the component instance `authentication_service` used below, please refer to [this section](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/cloud-scale/authentication/get-component-instance/).
