This changes the details registered with the authorisation server for this user. If a user is registered using an external identity/authentication provider (such as GitHub) and wishes to change those details, they must be changed directly with that identity provider’s system. The authorisation server cannot write back to the identity providers it trusts for user identity/authentication.
