Background
/user/update-user API allows customers to update any user profile.
Unfortunately, this method requires that all parameters are provided with the current/new information. Some of those parameters involves retrieving additional information, like the sites or organization the user is a member of, its site roles and organization roles, user groups it belong, etc.

Issue
If a parameter is left blank/null, that information is removed from the user profile. This makes it complicated to just update a user's last name.
