Need to update Account attribute Using API in ISC

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Issue:

I attempted to update an account attribute using the following URL:
https://dXXXX/v3/accounts/$accountId

Request Body:

[
{
“op”: “replace”,
“path”: “/attributes/Position”,
“value”: “IAM Specialist”
}
]

However, I received the following error response:

Invalid “path”: “/attributes/POSITION” of JSONPatch: {
“op”: “replace”,
“path”: “/attributes/XXXx”,
“value”: “IAM Specialist”
}


**Context:**
I need to update a specific attribute (e.g., "Position") during an **emergency termination** process.

Below is the accounts (https://xxxx.api.identitynow.com/v3/accounts/xxxx)

Welcome to the Developer Community :tada: !

Which type of source does this account belong to ?
Updating of account attributes is only supported on flat file.

if it is a flat file already , try using POSITION (upper case ) instead of position , as I can see the attribute name us in Upper Case originally.

{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/attributes/POSITION",
"value": "IAM Specialist"
}
]
