# Update a User Consent

API documentation for the FusionAuth Update a User Consent API.

# Update a User Consent

This API is used to update a consent. Once consent has been granted to a User, only the values and status may be modified.

## Request

[!API Key Authentication](https://fusionauth.io/docs/apis/authentication.md#api-key-authentication)

Update a User Consent with given Id

PUT/api/user/consent/{userConsentId}

OpenAPI Spec

### Request Parameters

`userConsentId`UUIDrequired

The Id of the User Consent to update.

#### Request Headers

`X-FusionAuth-TenantId`Stringoptional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See [Making an API request using a Tenant Id](https://fusionauth.io/docs/apis/authentication.md#making-an-api-request-using-a-tenant-id) for additional information.

#### Request Body

`userConsent.status`Stringrequired

The status of the User consent. Possible values are: // The spaces before the '-' on list items are required to properly align the text after the list

*   `Active`
*   `Revoked`

Setting the status to `Revoked` when the current status is `Active` will revoke the User Consent. Setting the status to `Active` when the current status is `Revoked` will Un-revoke the User Consent and make active again.

`userConsent.values`Array<String>optional

The consent values to be associated with this User consent.

*Example Request JSON*

```json
{
  "userConsent": {
    "status": "Active",
    "values": [
      "Verbal"
    ]
  }
}
