Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba ClearPass API to update local user accounts within the 'Identities' domain. It is useful for scenarios where you need to modify existing local user details such as enabling or disabling the account, changing the password, updating the username, or modifying user roles. For example, an administrator can use this node to update a user's password or change their role in the system programmatically.

Use Case Examples

1. Updating a local user's password and role after a security policy change.
2. Disabling a local user account when the user leaves the organization.
