Sync Gateway REST API

[Marcus Roberts]

I'm able to successfully create users through the Sync gateway using a PUT with the username/email/password channels I want.

When I try to do a POST just to change the password I get a 405 method not allowed.

If I do a PUT I can change the password, but it overwrites all the other settings (e.g. admin_roles, admin_channels).

Is it possible to update the password (or other attributes like channels) by doing a POST, or do I need to retrieve the object, update the values, and then PUT them all back again?

POST is for creating new users, not updating existing users.

I think you'll need to do a PUT with the new values, even the ones you don't want to change.

There's another HTTP verb called PATCH which is more like a "sparse PUT", so you would only be updating the password .. but I don't think Sync Gateway supports this yet.
