pgutil security users edit --username="John Smith" --email=johnsmith@kramerica.com

Command Specification (CLI)

The security users edit command is used to edit an existing User.

The --username option is always required.

One or more of the --displayname, --email, and --password options may be included, and will overwrite the existing value(s).
