VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.User Modify / Lock / Enable User

[moellerjot]

Hi all, first try...

Is there a way to modify a vCD (9.7) User by using some call Like  UpdateUser@VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.User

Creation is fine:
$OrgED = (Get-Org 'MyOrgName').ExtensionData

$orgAdminUser = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.User
$orgAdminUser.Name = $Name
$orgAdminUser.FullName = $FullName
$orgAdminUser.EmailAddress = $EmailAddress
$orgAdminUser.Password = $Pasword
$orgAdminUser.Telephone= $MyTel
$orgAdminUser.IsEnabled = $True
$orgAdminUser.IM = date

$user = $orgED.CreateUser($orgAdminUser)

Deleting works fine, but to hard: 

$user=get-ciuser -Org 'MyOrgName' myname 
$user.ExtensionData.Delete()

Searching for something like: 
$user.ExtensionData.IsLocked = $True
$user.ExtensionData.UpdateUser()

Any Idea?

Hi.

A user account is locked after a certain number of invalid login attempts.

$User = Get-ciuser -name 'Admin' -Org 'org-test' | Get-ciview

Disable user:
$user.IsEnabled=$False
$user.UpdateServerData()

Enable user:

$user.IsEnabled=$True
$user.UpdateServerData()

Unlock user:
$user.Unlock()

Thanks @Macleud - this was really helpful after several hours of trying to find an easy way to bulk-change Org User Roles so I tried same method to modify User Role Name, Href and ID which ended up sparing me from "death by UI" - manually changing hundreds of Org Users Role from "A" to "B" etc... simply sharing to aid others that come across this post as I couldn't find anything else and your post provided the solution given further mods...
