Updating user via Graph API 'must refer to service operation or an entity set'










0















There is a known bug with AAD B2C where resetting user password as admin for a local account locks them out



The solution was said to be to update the user instead via the Graph API so they can reset password themselves on next login



I am using the URL and format given at this link



https://msdn.microsoft.com/Library/Azure/Ad/Graph/api/users-operations#ResetUserPassword



I am trying to do this via postman but whenever I attempt to run the command i get this



 "code": "Request_BadRequest",
"message": {
"lang": "en",
"value": "The URI 'https://graph.windows.net/[mytenant].onmicrosoft.com/directoryObjects/$/Microsoft.DirectoryServices.User/[userid]?api-version=1.6' is not valid for POST operation. For POST operations, the URI must refer to a service operation or an entity set."
