updating a users isabusive flag via UI or Rest API

I have user that is erroneously set to abusive (I think by the abuse automation).

I have two questions.

1) does the interface support setting this flag manually for admins?


2) how do I update it via the API given I can't find an endpoint for this and It doesn't look to be returned/updateable via the user api endpoint anymore?

'97172 The IsAbusive flag on users has been moved out from the extended attributes into its own database column. This prevents the value from being exposed to all users who can view the user over rest and prevents a user from updating their own abusive flag.'

  • Thanks Mathew.

    I've checked and this user doesn't show up in the In Process tab unfortunately. I think this may be because the delete of the user failed as we have a custom plugin to stop them being deleted as the spam filters keep trying to delete them and they shouldn't be doing. We think it might be because this user is based in Cambodia. Anyway our plugin works fine but we need to set the user to be no abusive somehow.

    With regard to 2, is there not a way to do this via the Rest API? Ideally I wanted to resolve this without having to write code and deploy it. I guess asking support to run an SQL update on the db is another option (we are on SaaS) but not ideal.
