Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the admin plugin allows the creation of a user (authClient.admin.createUser) and the removal of a user (authClient.admin.removeUser). It also allows for updating the password (authClient.admin.setUserPassword) and the role (authClient.admin.setRole). But there is no method to let the admin update other fields of the user.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have an authClient.admin.updateUser method that updates other fields or multiple other fields of the provided user.id.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatives are to manually create a route for this and do it on the server side, or impersonate the user and call authClient.updateUser to update the user's own fields. Neither option is very convenient.

Additional context

No response

Any news on this feature? Apparently, the tests #2397 stopped on issues that had nothing to do with updating user data.
