Update a database user for a Cloud SQL instance. A common use case for the `update_user` is to grant a user the `cloudsqlsuperuser` role, which can provide a user with many required permissions. This tool only supports updating users to assign database roles. * This tool returns a long-running operation. Use the `get_operation` tool to poll its status until the operation completes. * Before calling the `update_user` tool, always check the existing configuration of the user such as the user type with `list_users` tool. * As a special case for MySQL, if the `list_users` tool returns a full email address for the `iamEmail` field, for example `{name=test-account, iamEmail=test-account@project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com}`, then in your `update_user` request, use the full email address in the `iamEmail` field in the `name` field of your toolrequest. For example, `name=test-account@project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com`. Key parameters for updating user roles: * `database_roles`: A list of database roles to be assigned to the user. * `revokeExistingRoles`: A boolean field (default: false) that controls how existing roles are handled. How role updates work: 1. **If `revokeExistingRoles` is true:** * Any existing roles granted to the user but NOT in the provided `database_roles` list will be REVOKED. * Revoking only applies to non-system roles. System roles like `cloudsqliamuser` etc won't be revoked. * Any roles in the `database_roles` list that the user does NOT already have will be GRANTED. * If `database_roles` is empty, then ALL existing non-system roles are revoked. 2. **If `revokeExistingRoles` is false (default):** * Any roles in the `database_roles` list that the user does NOT already have will be GRANTED. * Existing roles NOT in the `database_roles` list are KEPT. * If `database_roles` is empty, then there is no change to the user's roles. Examples: * Existing Roles: `[roleA, roleB]` * Request: `database_roles: [roleB, roleC], revokeExistingRoles: true` * Result: Revokes `roleA`, Grants `roleC`. User roles become `[roleB, roleC]`. * Request: `database_roles: [roleB, roleC], revokeExistingRoles: false` * Result: Grants `roleC`. User roles become `[roleA, roleB, roleC]`. * Request: `database_roles: [], revokeExistingRoles: true` * Result: Revokes `roleA`, Revokes `roleB`. User roles become `[]`. * Request: `database_roles: [], revokeExistingRoles: false` * Result: No change. User roles remain `[roleA, roleB]`.
