Set to `update_only` if you want the user to be able to update their own account member details (e.g., name, email, and if applicable their username and password). The user can update their own account member details by updating their [User Authentication Info](/docs/authentication/single-sign-on/user-authentication-info-api/update-a-user-authentication-info) using the `account_member_id` retrieved from the `meta` in the response of [Generating an Account Management Authentication Token](/docs/api/accounts/post-v-2-account-members-tokens) as the `id` and find the authentication credentials to update by calling the [Get All User Authentication Password Profile Info](/docs/authentication/single-sign-on/user-authentication-password-profiles-api/get-all-user-authentication-password-profile-info) endpoint.
